• Optimizing timing, resource usage, and latency to achieve best-in-class performance.
• Monitoring and troubleshooting FPGA performance in a live trading environment.

Why Join Us?

• Work in a fast-growing, results-oriented firm with minimal bureaucracy.
• Collaborate with some of the industry’s top engineers and researchers.
• Enjoy the flexibility of full remote work from anywhere in the world or choose to work from one of their hubs in cities like London or Dubai.

What We're Looking For

• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog with experience in FPGA design.
• Hands-on expertise with Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus, and FPGA debugging tools (ILA, SignalTap).
• Experience in peripheral integration (10G PHY/MAC, PCIe) and custom network stack implementations (TCP/UDP).
• Strong programming and scripting skills in C++ or Python.
• Only considering candidates with HFT (high frequency trading) experience.
