The role
Hardware acceleration for trading: market data decoding, risk checks and order paths implemented in silicon. The team works closely with software and trading.
What the work involves
- Design and implement FPGA logic for market data and order paths
- Work on timing closure and latency budgets
- Build verification alongside the design
- Partner with software and trading on what to accelerate
What firms look for
- Verilog or VHDL for production designs
- Experience with timing closure on modern FPGA families
- Understanding of networking protocols at the wire level
- C++ literacy for the software side of the path
- Trading experience helpful, not required
