Skills: PythonIMC is a leading global market maker, driven by technology and built on a foundation of continuous innovation. Our teams blend trading expertise, advanced research, and world-class engineering to provide liquidity across exchanges and asset classes. At IMC, speed and precision are essential. Our FPGA engineers play a critical role in designing and deploying hardware systems that sit on the absolute front line of trading—processing market data, making decisions, and executing trades in nanoseconds. These systems are custom-built to deliver ultra-low latency and deterministic performance, giving us a decisive edge in highly competitive markets. As part of the FPGA team, you’ll work closely with traders and technologists to build hardware that directly shapes trading outcomes. We're looking for an exceptional FPGA Engineer to help us push the limits of performance and redefine what's possible in a competitive technological landscape where the best trading idea alone doesn’t cut it anymore. Instead, only the best trading ideas that are enabled via robust, scalable and fast technology win. Your Core Responsibilities Architect, design, and deploy FPGA-based solutions for parsing market data and executing trades with ultra-low latency. Collaborate with traders and developers to translate strategy requirements into real-time hardware logic. Analyse and optimize system performance at every level—from transceiver tuning to logic layout. Develop and maintain a robust simulation and testing framework to ensure system reliability. Monitor and improve FPGA performance in live trading environments through benchmarking and profiling. Explore emerging technologies and bring new ideas to continually sharpen our hardware advantage. Your Skills and Experience: 3+ years’ experience in financial markets, exchange protocols (FIX, OUCH, ITCH), or co-designing FPGA and software systems. BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. Extensive experience with FP…Sign in to see the original postingBrowse more developer jobs on RoleBurst
