Hudson River Trading (HRT) is looking for an Algo Web Engineer to join the team. In this role, you will build UIs and backend processes to support our Algo Developers (ADs) and Traders in overseeing research and trading processes, executing manual trades, assessing risk, and researching improvements to our strategies. This is impactful work; many of the UIs are generating and interpreting the complex strategies being deployed at the scale of HRT, with vast quantities of the world's market and financial data. As an Algo Web Engineer, you will contribute significantly to our research and trading infrastructure as a whole.
You’ll be working with ADs, Core Engineers, and others to build backend processes to ingest and transform large quantities of data and front ends to visualize that data quickly. You will have the opportunity to generate your own ideas about new features or products, and own the implementation of significant pieces of our research infrastructure. You will get to see how your products are used daily in creating trading strategies, and ultimately the impact they will have on HRT’s success.
