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 are building or 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, you’ll work on projects that impact our live trading and research and allow them to run worldwide 24/7. A typical day could include scaling and keeping our HPC environment running smoothly or designing and building services to improve HRT’s research environment, but responsibilities are broad! Your day could also consist of hardware and software installation and configuration, remote administration, monitoring, new hardware and software testing, automation and tool development, and performance tuning.
