FPGA Engineer - directly influence trading performance at a smaller HFT

Design and optimise ultra-low-latency hardware systems that power real-time trading strategies.

Youll join a high-calibre engineering team where your designs directly influence trading performance.

Expect a hands-on, fast-paced environment where technical depth, innovation, and collaboration are key.

Youll architect, implement and deploy FPGA solutions across the business. Theyre a global trading firm with offices in both the UK & US, the team is lean (~40 people globally), meaning youll see the direct impact of your work no red tape here!

Youll also enjoy a lot of autonomy, focusing on building new FPGA applications from the ground up including RTL design, synthesis, and timing analysis whilst working closely with Traders and Developers to identify performance bottlenecks and create cutting-edge solutions.

Youll need strong VHDL and Python coding skills, experience working in a Linux environment and the ability to build strong relationships with various stakeholders, including Traders.

Whilst having experience working with a trading environment would be beneficial, they are also open to speaking with strong engineers from telecom, space, defence or research industries, given there is interest in learning more about the trading world.
