Hudson River Trading, one of Europe’s biggest equity traders, has picked Dublin to be its base in the European Union once Britain leaves next March.

According to its website, the speed trader is seeking to fill three jobs in Dublin: a compliance officer and two people in trading operations. The US-headquartered firm ranks alongside Citadel Securities, Jane Street Financial and Tower Research Capital as one of the biggest algorithmic traders of European equities.
