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
The estimated base salary range for this position is 170,000 to 250,000 USD per year (or local equivalent). The base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
This role will also be eligible for discretionary performance-based bonuses and a competitive benefits package which includes medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, and enrollment in our company’s retirement savings plans. Employees will receive sick and parental leave, as well as other paid time off (including 20 vacation days and 10 paid holidays in the US).
