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.
The skills you will have:
- SystemVerilog
- Source control management
- 5+ years FPGA experience
- Automated verification

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 – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll 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. It’s 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 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
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.
