About the position
We are looking to hire an experienced ASIC Engineer to help us design, test and deploy advanced hardware designs. As part of our Ultra Low Latency team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with people in areas across the firm, including trading, networking and research infrastructure.

We don’t expect you to know OCaml (we’ll teach you here), but we are looking for hardware engineers who are excited about the advantages that better tools can bring, and are willing to try new things as a result.
