*Hudson River Trading - we are hiring TradeOps Developers (Dublin)*
The Trading Operations (TradeOps) team is responsible for managing HRT's
live trading environment. We play a role in everything that HRT does to
create and maintain the most robust and efficient trading platform in the
world. A TradeOps Developer might work on Ops-specific tools, take on
development projects with Core or Algo, or tackle challenges facing other
areas of the company. Project areas include: market access, monitoring and
compliance, algo/strategy evaluation and management, performance tuning,
and trading automation. Anything that would touch our globally distributed
production environment is fair game!
Being a TradeOps Developer means working on a tight-knit, highly productive
team. You’ll be in charge of designing new systems that impact the whole
company, debugging mission critical software under time pressure, hacking
your way through old scripts, and reviewing pull requests -- all in a day’s
work. We release a lot of code (usually daily, sometimes hourly!) that
reaches into every department and every office at HRT. As a TradeOps
Developer you'll establish a deep knowledge of Python, C++, OS internals,
CPU architecture, network hardware and protocol, individual market
behavior, firm risk controls/risk management, algorithm design, and
strategy management.
We're looking for someone who loves technology and wants to work on a broad
range of projects using whatever tool(s) best solve the problem at hand.
Excellent communication is a must, along with a can-do attitude.
*The Skills*
- Excellent design, debugging and problem solving skills
- Some experience in C++ and Python is great (not required), but good CS
fundamentals and enthusiasm about learning C++ and Python is required
- Knowledge of UNIX operating systems (we use Linux), system/processor
performance, and network communication
*The Profile*
- You attained a Bachelor’s in Computer Science or have commensurate
experience
- You are adept in at least one higher level language such as Python
(preferred) or C++
- You have experience working with databases (SQL, MongoDB, Redis)
- You can analyze and fix problems quickly
- You can look at code, figure out how it works, and how to make it
better
- You really like to work with people who challenge you and make you
better at what you do
- You have excellent communication skills and a willingness to admit
mistakes
- Experience with (or a strong interest in learning!) UI Design / PyQt /
HTML / CSS
*Job Duties*
- Write automation jobs in Python that support the mechanics of our
global trading network
- Write deployment and monitoring systems (everything from the backend
processes to the user-visible desktop GUIs) in Python to help our real-time
analysts discover and investigate internal and external outages
- Develop tools to reduce the errors and manual labour of our daily
operations
- Develop integrations with our C++ code to reduce the need for code
duplication across teams
- Work with other teams at HRT to ensure that their technical solutions
will work cohesively and at scale
