  4. Monitor production systems and identify opportunities for latency reduction.
  5. Evaluate emerging FPGA and hardware technologies to enhance performance.

Why Join Us:

Work at the intersection of electronic trading, advanced hardware engineering, and quantitative technology. You'll tackle demanding performance challenges where even microseconds can influence execution, while contributing to systems designed for speed, scalability, and reliability.

About You:

  1. 5+ years of relevant financial markets or FPGA experience.
  2. Strong FPGA/ASIC expertise using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
  3. Solid programming ability in C++, C, or Python.
  4. Strong understanding of digital design and hardware architecture.
  5. Experience with Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or comparable toolchains.
  6. Knowledge of Ethernet, TCP, UDP, and exchange protocols.
  7. Proven ability to optimize production systems for latency and throughput.
  8. Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
