Systems Engineer - R&D

Hudson River Trading (HRT) is looking for Systems Engineers to join our growing Research & Development team. This team builds and maintains exceptionally large and growing distributed compute clusters, multi petabyte-scale storage layers, operating systems, automation software, and development tools. We have incredibly large GPU and CPU compute clusters, larger than most national labs. We have built our own on-prem data centers globally and have teams focused on industry leading compute, network, storage and power optimization. Our people and our compute capabilities are our two most important differentiators, and that is where we are investing the most.

As a full-time Systems Engineer in our OS Platform team, you’ll work on projects that impact our live trading and research, allowing them to run with high performance, worldwide, 24/7. A typical day could include; deploying customized versions of core packages, building new infrastructure to manage deployments, troubleshooting low level issues and designing scalable solutions for the future. Additionally we are the front line supporting bleeding edge hardware, taking engineering samples from vendors and making sure we can squeeze most performance out of them when production hardware arrives.
