Senior FPGA Design Engineer / Hardware Engineer

Maven
London
ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Maven is a market-leading proprietary trading firm allocating internal capital across discretionary, systematic, and market-making strategies. Our collective expertise spans traders, engineers, and technologists, unified by an unwavering dedication to enhance our efficiency as a premier liquidity provider for globally listed derivatives. We leverage groundbreaking execution and pricing technologies to elevate and improve how financial markets operate.

Overview:

Where technology meets trading, the Maven FPGA team is pushing the bleeding edge of hardware and proprietary designs to maintain and gain advantage in an increasingly competitive environment. With operations in London, New York, Hong Kong and Chicago, we build technology in support of global trading operations across multiple exchanges, asset classes, and trading strategies. Our teams are small and nimble, with a firm commitment to growth, and a strategic view of investment in people, tools, and the necessary platforms to extend our leadership.

The Role:

Within our team, you will work with traders and technologists to seek and exploit opportunities to gain competitive advantage through FPGA systems. By means of reduced latencies, higher throughput, or increased robustness, you will enable the company to increase the efficiency of existing strategies and open up entirely new trading opportunities previously inaccessible. With a number of greenfield projects in scope, candidates who are proactive and self-driven can grow into leadership roles for the firm's future. Whilst financial experience is a plus, your engineering talents, problem solving abilities, and eagerness to take on new challenges are of significantly higher importance to us.

  • SystemVerilog
  • Source control management
  • 5+ years FPGA experience
  • Automated verification
  • HLS or other DSP flow experience for FPGA
  • Comfortable attacking new and unfamiliar problems
  • Interest in trading

  • Python, TCL
  • Low latency design
  • ASIC
  • Network and packet processing
  • Financial market data
  • Trading systems
  • Software development

  • Annual discretionary bonus
  • Fully catered breakfast, lunch and snacks.
  • 25 days' annual leave
