Core Web Engineer

Hudson River Trading (HRT) is looking for a Core Web Engineer to join the team. In this role, you will build UIs and backend processes to support our Algo Developers (ADs) and Traders in overseeing trading processes, executing manual trades, assessing risk, and researching improvements to our strategies.
