Hudson River Trading (HRT) is looking for a Junior Crypto Electronic Trading Support Engineer to join our Trade Operations (TradeOps) team in our London office. This team is responsible for managing HRT’s live trading environment, one of the most robust and efficient electronic trading platforms in the world. This includes configuring, monitoring, and optimizing the firm’s crypto trading as well as handling related risk, regulatory, and development tasks. The TradeOps team focuses on automating common tasks and preparing for the unexpected: your day could consist of debugging to get a process running in time for the market open, making a difficult on-the-spot decision that balances compliance, risk, and PnL during trading hours, or coordinating the technical rollout of a new trading strategy.
Being a member of TradeOps at HRT supporting crypto means working on a tight-knit, highly productive team. We're looking for someone who loves technology, is passionate about crypto, and wants to work on a broad range of projects using whatever tools best solve the problem at hand.

In a high-performance environment, immediate awareness of and reaction to systems and trading issues is essential. That’s where HRT’s Electronic Trading Support Engineers come in. You’ll be responsible for onboarding new crypto markets, managing new initiatives, and ensuring a smooth trading day. You will be the first line of defense when issues arise, and the subject matter expert on recent changes to the production trading platform. The TradeOps team’s scope covers everything from systems infrastructure to compliance, risk management, overnight clearing, and performance improvement.
