Hudson River Trading (HRT) is a multi-asset class quantitative trading firm that applies a scientific approach to trading financial products, providing liquidity on global markets and directly to clients through algorithmic strategies. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in New York City, the firm also operates in Singapore and other Asia-Pacific markets, with offices around the world.
The technical work spans quantitative and algorithmic trading, machine learning and statistical modelling, high-performance computing, data science, and automation. Teams develop systematic trading strategies across multiple asset classes and operate what the firm describes as one of the world's most sophisticated computing environments for research and development. Engineering problems extend beyond trading into business operations and the wider push to expand the boundaries of automation.
Staff include mathematicians, computer scientists, statisticians, physicists and engineers working together on research-driven projects. The firm notes a culture in which good ideas are credited whether they come from veterans or new hires, and where colleagues collaborate on ambitious projects and share meals together.
