Hudson River Trading

We're proud to support Gray Swan's mission to build a safer future for AI. Congratulations on the raise!

Long Beach was the perfect backdrop for an incredible PyCon! Thanks to everyone who came by the HRT booth, packed our talks, and kept the energy going at our rooftop happy hour. Want to keep exploring the work we shared at PyCon? Check out HRT's Open Source contributions: https://lnkd.in/dJPVMZxK See you in 2027! 🐍

We’re partnering with Lambda to support compute-intensive quantitative research and development with accelerated computing infrastructure from NVIDIA, helping enable faster iteration and larger research workloads.

We’re proud to be the sole sponsor of C++: The Documentary, a new film from Cult.Repo. 🎬 It tells the story of the programming language that powers much of modern computing, including many of the high performance systems we build at HRT. Check out the trailer below — full documentary premieres June 4! 👀

We’re excited to work with Dell Technologies to scale the infrastructure supporting our algorithm development and simulation workloads. ⚙️

As PyCon 2026 kicks off today 🐍, we’re proud to announce that Hudson River Trading has become the first quantitative trading firm to support the Python Software Foundation as a Visionary Sponsor. This commitment supports the foundation’s core work of advancing and protecting the Python programming language, as well as the community programs that keep the Python ecosystem thriving for developers worldwide. Open source software is fundamental to HRT’s research and trading infrastructure, and we care deeply about supporting the communities and projects that make our work possible. Stay tuned for more OSS contributions and project releases from HRT later this year.

Another amazing cohort! Explore HRT NYC wrapped up earlier this month after three packed days of technical talks, workshops, networking, and some friendly competition in the ping pong room. 😉 Participants split into Algorithm and SWE tracks, dug into topics like order books and risk management, and heard firsthand from HRTers about life at the firm. Next up: Singapore! ✈️

Our own Todd Strader took the stage at Latch-Up 2026 to offer a closer look at how HRT’s hardware team is pushing the bounds of what’s possible with Verilator. Todd walks through a set of upstream improvements and fixes we’ve contributed to Verilator, along with the engineering tradeoffs and testing constraints that motivated each change. Catch the full talk here: https://lnkd.in/eQcgVCAe Thank you FOSSi Foundation for organizing! #Verilator #OpenSourceEDA #LatchUp2026

Introducing “Fun with Algorithms,” a video series where we break down International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)-style problems from first intuition to full solution. 🧩 In this episode, IOI’s Eljakim Schrijvers visits our NYC headquarters to tackle “Souvenirs,” a notoriously tricky interactive problem from IOI 2025 in Bolivia. He's joined by Katherine, an HRT engineer and former EGOI Turkey competitor, who walks through every subtask and shares tips around contest strategy.

This month we had the privilege of hosting Andrei Alexandrescu – a renowned computer scientist and one of the world’s foremost authorities on systems programming – at our NYC headquarters. Andrei took us on a journey through the story behind his book, Modern C++ Design, and shared his views on the future of programming languages and the potential impact of AI on the way we work. Beyond his main talk, Andrei also led a small group session diving deep into technical problems with our engineers. A huge thank you to Andrei for spending the day with us!
