What Youโll Do
As an FPGA Engineer, youโll work with internal stakeholders (including trading, risk, compliance and research teams) to develop and enhance Optiverโs low latency execution and network optimisation platforms. These platforms are critical in placing orders from auto-trading systems with ultra-low latency, implementing risk boundary checks, order management and exchange connectivity. You'll get to:
- Design, implement and optimise high-performance FPGA solutions for order placement, risk checks and exchange connectivity, owning the full development cycle from concept through to testing, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
- Continuously improve system performance and engineering quality, applying deep FPGA expertise to minimise logic depth and achieve zero-latency designs, while championing best practices through code reviews, tooling improvements and fast feedback cycles.
- Drive innovation by integrating cutting-edge technologies, including the latest FPGA devices, and help expand the teamโs capabilities in machine learning or heterogeneous computation, particularly in the context of the Chinese market.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including traders, researchers and software engineers, to co-develop impactful, business-aligned solutions that respond to rapidly changing market conditions.
-
Contribute to team development and long-term success, by mentoring junior developers, sharing knowledge, and growing into a business-minded engineer with full-stack FPGA mastery and strategic influence.
- 5+ years of experience in FPGA development, ideally in high-frequency trading (HFT) or other performance-critical environments.
- Proficient in VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog.
- Basic skills in either C++, C or Python.
- Experience working with Linux and understanding of computer networks and protocols (TCP, IP, and UDP).
- A proven track record of delivering outstanding results and achieving top performance in previous positions.
- An active and enthusiastic approach to coding, a natural aptitude for problem-solving, and a keen interest in exploring emerging FPGA technologies and relevant industry advancements.
-
A strong innovative mindset to drive the development of novel and efficient designs.
- A performance-based bonus structure unmatched anywhere in the industry. We combine our profits across desks, teams and offices into a global profit pool, fostering a truly collaborative environment.
- The chance to work alongside diverse and intelligent peers in a rewarding environment.
- Training, mentorship and personal development opportunities.
- Daily breakfast, lunch and snacks.
- Gym membership, sports and leisure activities, plus weekly in-house chair massages
-
Regular social events, clubs and Friday afternoon drinks.
Optiver is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, and welcome requests for reasonable adjustments during the process.

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation โ making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
Weโre looking for a true legend โ someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. Youโll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. Itโs your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo ๐
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML ๐ค
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking ๐ง
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity ๐ฐ
- Remote work possible ๐
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
