Experienced Low Level Software Engineer (C++)
At Hudson River Trading (HRT) we are mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians, physicists and engineers. We research and develop automated trading algorithms using advanced mathematical techniques. We have built one of the world's most sophisticated computing environments, and our researchers are at the forefront of innovation in the world of algorithmic trading.
Job Description
Hudson River Trading’s coders work on small, highly productive, and efficient teams that design, improve, and maintain the technology that powers worldwide trading — at HRT, the code you write is our business. You’ll have an opportunity to work alongside a range of developers across the firm who write trading algorithms, monitor trading, build and maintain a world-class research environment, and more!
We are looking for highly skilled programmers who love to code and solve complex problems, appreciate a culture of collaboration, and thrive in a performance-driven environment. You can always expect to be challenged by the ever-changing financial markets, and find yourself working on critical software in an extremely fast-paced, real-time environment.
HRT's distributed system is on the Pareto frontier of latency and throughput, you’ll have limitless opportunity to continue to learn and develop deep knowledge of C++, OS internals, CPU architecture, and networking hardware and protocols.
Profile
- You’re one of the top devs in your current organization, as measured by productivity, technical capability, and helpfulness to other devs
- You are capable of working independently as well as part of a team
- You can analyze and fix problems quickly
- You can look at code, figure out how it works, and identify ways to make it better
- You can describe software designs at a high level (the abstract interface), low level (step-by-step algorithm), or anywhere in between
- You work well alongside people who challenge you and make you better at what you do
- In your spare time you: code, tinker, read, explore, break things, and have an insatiable curiosity for all things computer related... you'll find like-minded people here.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- Superior design, debugging, and problem solving skills
- Advanced C++ experience is required, daily use preferred
- Knowledge of UNIX operating systems (we use Linux), system/processor performance, and network communication
Annual base salary range of $175,000 to $250,000. Pay (base and bonus) may vary depending on job-related skills and experience. A sign-on and discretionary performance bonus may be provided as part of the total compensation package, in addition to company-paid medical and/or other benefits.
