About the Role

Hudson River Trading (HRT) is a pioneering financial services company that combines cutting-edge technology with scientific approaches to trading. We're seeking an exceptional Database SRE to join our Research & Development team, which is responsible for building and maintaining our large-scale distributed compute cluster, petabyte-scale storage layer, operating systems, automation software, and development tools.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain HRT's SQL and NoSQL database infrastructure, supporting our globally distributed trading infrastructure and extending to large-scale research.
  • Configure and scale PostgreSQL and MySQL servers for trade-critical, real-time workflows.
  • Investigate and improve performance of PostgreSQL and MySQL queries and supporting infrastructure (Debian Linux).
  • Transform the metrics and alerting landscape with Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, and Grafana.
  • Architect and deploy Redis-based key/value stores for current and future use-cases.
  • Engineer and apply infrastructure-as-code tools and services (Salt, Terraform, and others).
  • Build and test proof-of-concept datastores to fit consumer use cases.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience working in database management and infrastructure engineering.
  • Proven expertise in designing and implementing production database infrastructure, from security and replication to observability (monitoring, alerting, logging).
  • Solid familiarity with state-of-the-art DB technologies and tradeoffs (distributed DBs, time-series DBs, relaxed consistency models, columnar storage).
  • Experience with dynamic clustering solutions such as Patroni.
  • Strong knowledge and experience with Linux (especially Debian).
  • Extensive experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL.
  • Solid programming with the ability to write Python with an understanding of data structures and the principles of software design.
  • Performance troubleshooting, and networking knowledge.
  • Experience with Redis, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, and Grafana preferred.
  • Exceptional communication and project management skills - this role will require cross-collaboration with various stakeholders across HRT.
  • You are resourceful, have a sense of urgency, and are motivated to make things better.
