Hudson River Trading (HRT) brings a scientific approach to trading financial products.

The Middle Office team at Hudson River Trading (HRT) is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of HRT’s post-trade platform. Our global trading platform supports trading across many asset classes and geographies. Our Middle Office team designs and operates the systems and processes that reconcile the firm’s trading with our various brokers and counterparties. Due to the high volume of trades and complexity of the system, we rely heavily on automation and are looking for candidates who have exceptional attention to detail. In addition to reconciling trades and positions around the globe, HRT’s Middle Office team will collaborate with multiple teams to research corporate actions, maintain commissions programs, and track all costs incurred by our trading.

Being a member of the Middle Office team at HRT means working on a tight-knit, highly productive team. We’re looking for someone who loves technology and wants to work on a variety of operational projects using whatever tools best solve the problem at hand. Excellent communication and the ability to work across teams are a must, along with a can-do, no-task-too-small attitude.

Role

In our fast-paced, multi-asset trading environment, you will be responsible for the following:

  • Working closely with the Business Development, Post Trade and Accounting teams to identify improvements in the current workflow as well as assisting in the implementation of those improvements. 
  • Documenting complex processes to develop Middle Office guidelines and procedures.
  • Onboarding new trading into existing technology and platforms.
  • Reconciling daily position, cash and PnL breaks, coordinating with both internal and external parties.
  • Maintaining and updating the commission structures across all markets.

Profile

  • You have an interest in digital assets.
  • Willingness to work with a product without an industry standard.
  • Understanding of forks, proof-of-work vs. proof-of-stake, and other trading and digital assets-related features is a plus, but not required.
  • Bachelor’s degree, ideally in a technical discipline like CS, Finance, Engineering, Physics, Math, etc, but we are open!
  • 1 – 10 years of relevant experience. We’re looking for a wide range of experience levels.
  • Experience with SQL and relational databases.
  • Experience with command-line text manipulations in UNIX operating systems (we use Linux).

  • You truly like to work with people who challenge you and make you better at what you do.
  • You are skeptical by nature and have a high attention to detail.
  • You are excited by the idea of working independently in a fast-paced, high pressure environment.
