How Hudson River Trading recruits

HRT's own FAQ states its technical interview process 'usually consists of a coding test, 1-2 technical phone screens, and a virtual multi-round final interview,' with length and topics varying by role. It reviews applications on a rolling basis, saying to 'allow up to 2 weeks for your application to be reviewed,' and asks candidates to apply to only one job posting.

HRT's own page states summer internship dates directly: 'Our summer internships run from late-May to mid-August.' Our pipeline first confirmed a live UK intake for the Summer 2027 internships on 23 August 2026.
