We’re looking for a seasoned FPGA Developer to build hardware-accelerated solutions powering real-time systems that operate in one of the most competitive tech environments.
You’ll be joining the top quantitative trading company with HQ in Dubai. 200+ brightest minds in maths, quantitative analysis & engineering from around the globe develop proprietary quantitative trading systems behind a global portfolio of traditional & cryptocurrency exchanges.
The team is tech-driven & flat-structured, with engineers as core contributors – this isn’t a place where hardware is an afterthought. The founders are hands-on quants (top-10 of Kaggle) trading only with their own money; the company does not accept investments or external funds.
What will you do in this role?
- Architect & implement FPGA designs that push the boundaries of latency & throughput.
- Build high-speed pipelines for parsing protocols, market data processing & order flow.
- Tune timing & resource usage to the edge of hardware capabilities.
- Work closely with software and systems teams to integrate your hardware into a broader performance-critical stack.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and iterate on live systems running in production environments.
About you:
- Strong hands-on experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- A degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
- Confidence with FPGA design & debugging tools (e.g., Vivado, Quartus, SignalTap, ILA).
- Solid understanding of performance tuning, latency measurement & real-time systems.
It’s also great if you have:
- Experience with scripting or programming with TCL, C++, or Python.
- Familiarity with network protocols, PCIe, or custom TCP/UDP stacks.
- Experience in fast-paced tech environments – whether in trading, networking, or embedded systems.
Why this role?
- Join a cutting-edge FinTech product with a strong global presence & a long-term expansion roadmap.
- Work with the latest FPGA platforms & tools.
- Contribute to the environment where hardware optimizations directly drive business results.
- Collaborate with world-class team: top-tier FPGA talent, Kaggle competition leaders & a top-ranked C++ team.
- Enjoy competitive pay & flexible remote setup with 40 paid days off per year.
