About the Role

Hudson River Trading (HRT) is seeking an Ultra-Low Latency Network Architect to build, test, and optimize our global high-frequency trading infrastructure. This role involves leading hardware evaluation and lab benchmarking, analyzing network data, and collaborating with engineering teams to achieve single nanosecond network performance.

Responsibilities

  • Establish and operate a dedicated network testing lab for hardware evaluation and benchmarking.
  • Design automated benchmark frameworks using traffic generators to simulate, measure, and validate protocols.
  • Build Python pipelines to process, analyze, and visualize high-volume packet captures and telemetry data.
  • Develop tools to automate lab testing, parse network logs, and generate latency distribution reports.
  • Architect and maintain low latency trading networks across global exchange colocation sites.
  • Optimize trading network signals over wireless low-latency backhaul networks.
  • Benchmark performance for embedded network components like network adapters and network co-processors.
  • Oversee PTP (IEEE 1588v2) and White Rabbit time synchronization systems.
  • Design and maintain large-scale L2/L3 architectures, fine-tuning BGP, OSPF, and PIM-SSM/IGMP multicast.
  • Stay current with emerging low-latency networking technologies and evaluate new solutions.

Requirements

  • 10+ years designing and operating ultra-low latency networks in HFT, market making, or quantitative fund environments.
  • Knowledge of exchange colocation, market data feeds, and order routing protocols (FIX, OUCH, ITCH) is essential.
  • Advanced Python skills using libraries like pandas, numpy, or pyarrow for data analysis.
  • Hands-on experience building network testing labs, using hardware traffic generators (Spirent/Ixia), and packet capture tools.
  • Expertise with Arista (7130 series), Cisco (Nexus 3550/3548), LDA L1 switches, AMD Solarflare, and NVIDIA Mellanox hardware.
  • Familiarity with FPGA driven low latency applications or custom accelerator cards.
  • Deep knowledge of BGP/OSPF, Linux network stack tuning, PTP (IEEE 1588), White Rabbit, PIM-SSM multicast, and large scale L2/L3 topologies.
  • Proficiency with Ansible, SQL, and Python network automation tools (e.g., Scapy, Netmiko, AsyncIO).
  • Experience with observability stacks such as Victoriametrics, Prometheus, Grafana, and Docker.
