Software Engineering Interns work on real-world projects in C++ and Python, contributing to the technology behind HRT’s trading and research environment. They collaborate closely with exceptional engineers and gain exposure to the tools and infrastructure that power our work.

Working in close collaboration with your mentors, you will apply sophisticated quantitative research and modeling techniques to understand and predict market behavior and write software to improve our trading strategies.

Leverage your advanced research experience and expertise to apply academic research to impactful real world problems in trading across time horizons and machine learning strategies.

As an intern, you will work with full-time trader and developer mentors to investigate trading strategies and market dynamics, mirroring the challenges encountered in a full-time role.

Interns will have the unique opportunity to rotate through both the Algorithm Development (Quant Research) and Software Engineering teams, gaining exposure to both areas while contributing to a wide range of impactful projects.

A 2-4 week exploration into automated trading for second year students from underrepresented backgrounds in tech and finance. Interns will get an introduction to all technical facets of the algorithmic trading industry, learn about who we are and what we do, and participate in hands-on independent programming projects in Python and C++.

A 2-4 week exploration into automated trading for PhD students. Interns will get an introduction to all technical facets of the algorithmic trading industry, learn about who we are and what we do, and participate in hands-on independent programming projects in Python and C++.

Algorithm Developers are responsible for building and maintaining the models that drive our trading, relying on quantitative (mathematics, statistics, data analysis) and technical (C++/Python programming) skills to develop and improve our strategies. A typical day involves applying rigorous statistical analysis to vast quantities of market and financial data to produce predictive trading models.

Software Engineers create and maintain critical technology and infrastructure at HRT. Their work spans our incredible live trading system and a powerful research environment; Software Engineers bring deep knowledge of C++, OS internals, CPU architecture, and networking hardware and protocols.

Hardware Design Engineers at HRT craft sophisticated digital logic solutions in FPGA and ASIC technologies with nanosecond precision. They push boundaries in trading performance using advanced low-level logic design, low-latency hardware architectures, and novel solutions for hardware-software interaction.
