Campus Recruiting
Full-time & internship opportunities for graduating seniors, Masters, or PhD students.
Full-Time Opportunities
If you’re graduating from an bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD program in 2023 and want to work on challenging technical problems in a fast-paced environment, we urge you to consider one of our full-time openings below.
Algorithm Developer
Algorithm Developers are responsible for building and maintaining the models that drive our trading and rely on their math skills to make smarter strategies. A typical day involves applying rigorous statistical analysis to vast quantities of market and financial data to produce provably predictive trading models.
Software Engineer
As a Software Engineer on HRT’s Core Development team, you will step into an incredible learning opportunity; HRT’s distributed system is on the Pareto frontier of latency and throughput. You’ll develop deep knowledge of C++, OS internals, CPU architecture, and networking hardware and protocols. And you will be surrounded by amazing developers who are honing their skills every day. You’ll be amazed at what you accomplish.
We are no longer accepting further applications for this role at this time. Please check back in August 2023 for 2024 New Grad Software Engineer openings.
Algo Engineer
Algo Software Engineers (AEs) are programmers that work hand-in-hand with Algo Developers (ADs). AEs focus on the software that powers trading and research, and tend to be the type of engineers who thrive on constant interaction and discussion. Hearing how their most recently-deployed system allowed for whole new types of research would make their week. AEs are engineers who don’t mind juggling a few projects at once and have a varied portfolio of projects, from long-term ambitious new systems to fire-fighting live issues.

Think Out Loud
How you solve a problem can be just as important as having the right answer. Thinking out loud gives the interviewer insight into your reasoning and can also help them follow along with your solution.
Share Your Reasoning
