Software Engineer - Hardware Development

We're seeking a Software Engineer to help build the operating system and software that power our custom trading hardware.

In this role, you'll work across the full stack—from low‑level hardware integration to partnering with infrastructure teams who manage production systems and traders who tailor them to specific strategies. Our core environment is Python and Linux, but you'll work with a broad range of technologies including TCL, C, C++, ASM, VHDL, and various domain‑specific languages, spanning platforms from x64 servers to embedded processors.

As a Software Engineer, you will:

• Design and maintain the OS and software stack behind our trading hardware
• Build and support Python‑based interfaces for controlling and monitoring hardware systems
• Develop software for STM processors integrated into prototype boards
• Manage and support a fleet of hardware systems running in production
• Collaborate closely with hardware, infrastructure, and trading teams to ensure seamless system performance
• Contribute to infrastructure automation and gradually expand into embedded development and low‑level hardware logic

• The chance to work with top‑tier professionals from more than 40 countries
• A highly competitive compensation package
• Participation in a global profit‑sharing pool and performance‑based bonuses
• 401(k) match up to 50%
• Comprehensive medical, mental health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• 25 paid vacation days plus market holidays
• Generous office perks, including daily meals, snacks, social events, clubs, sports leagues, and more

• Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals and hardware systems
• Proficient in Python and familiar with its key libraries and APIs
• Experienced in writing software in C/C++
• Skilled at system‑level problem solving
• Comfortable collaborating with developers, researchers, and cross‑functional teams

• Experience with low‑level hardware/software interaction (drivers, buses, pins, registers, etc.)
• Ability to read and interpret datasheets and electrical schematics
• Familiarity with Linux devices and drivers
• Experience with FPGA design using VHDL/Verilog and the Vivado toolchain
• Understanding of communication protocols, especially Ethernet
• Exposure to network operating systems such as Cisco IOS, Arista EOS, or Juniper MOS
• Experience working with high‑performance trading network hardware (packet‑switched or circuit‑switched)
