Hudson River Trading (HRT) is seeking exceptional full-time students to join our Algorithm Development Summer Internship Program. Algorithm Developers at HRT focus on the research and implementation of automated trading strategies. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to rotate between our high- and mid-frequency trading teams, as well as our machine learning teams. In close collaboration with full-time mentors, you will apply sophisticated quantitative modeling techniques to understand and predict market behavior and write software to improve our trading strategies.
Ideal candidates are quantitatively-driven and practically-minded programmers, scientists, and mathematicians who are excited to solve the most challenging problems in our field.
What to Expect
- Leverage our proprietary infrastructure (Python/C++) in conjunction with third-party tools to conduct quantitative research and data analysis
- Use machine learning and time series techniques to derive novel insights on market behavior from large and complex datasets
- Work on impactful projects in close collaboration with experienced researchers, traders, and developers
