Hudson River Trading (HRT) is seeking a Technical Recruiter to join our global Recruiting team. In this role, you will focus on hiring best-in-class engineers to expand our global compute platform. You will build out market maps, engage with deeply technical candidates, and manage the end-to-end hiring process for niche, high-impact engineering roles.
HRT is one of the top quantitative trading firms in the world. We have built one of the world’s most sophisticated computing environments for quantitative research and development, with incredibly large GPU and CPU compute clusters (larger than most national labs). Our research cluster is the backbone of our success, and we have ambitious plans for future expansion. Our people and our compute capabilities are our two most important differentiators, and that is where we are investing the most.
Responsibilities
- Partner directly with engineering leadership on compute recruitment strategy, and be a proactive and consultative strategic partner to hiring managers
- Manage the end-to-end hiring pipelines, from first outreach through offer acceptance, for compute team growth
- Provide a high-touch, white-glove candidate experience tailored to senior and hard-to-hire technical profiles
- Develop deep knowledge of HRT’s compute development ecosystem
- Conduct market research and talent mapping projects to identify top technical talent, uncover candidate trends, and complete competitor analyses
- Attract passive candidates using creative sourcing methods (open-source community involvement, network building, direct outreach, referrals) to build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs
Qualifications:
- 7+ years of full life cycle technical recruiting experience
- Bachelor’s degree
- Proven success recruiting in specialized technical domains
- Strong talent mapping capabilities—comfortable researching companies, org structures, roles, and skills in depth.
- Data-driven mindset with experience using recruiting analytics to guide strategy
- Excellent cross-functional verbal and written communication skills
- A passion for building technical teams and delivering outstanding candidate experience
- Familiarity with the compute landscape; open-source communities, engineering conferences, or niche technical hiring channels preferred, but not required
