Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm proudly headquartered in downtown Chicago. Our traders work hard to provide liquidity to the market through their market-making activities and are the masters of a diverse set of commodities, interest rates, exchange-traded funds (ETF), and equity index options. From the beginning, we began iteratively investing in our proprietary technology and committing to building our systems from the ground up. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry. This wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated efforts of our technology teams who utilize and perfect our innovative technology solutions.
High-performance proprietary development is the source of our success and competitive advantage at Belvedere, further fueling our passion for performance. We are a team driven by intellectual curiosity, seeking answers that will change not only how we trade in this technological age, but also the future landscape of the trading industry. We place a high premium on defining, developing, and deploying high-performance trading software using a team-based, holistic development approach. We look for passionate team members that excel and their contribution is critical to our continued success.

Belvedere Trading is looking for an FPGA Developer to supplement the team and drive projects that will optimize our options market marking systems.

  • Apply industry knowledge and technical skills in new and innovative ways

  • Create new features and help improve existing experiences

  • Share ideas, experience, and knowledge with other members of the team

What You'll Need:

  • Development experience with FPGAs (Verilog/VHDL, functional verification, and static timing closure)

  • Demonstrated experience with C++, Bash, TCL, and/or Python scripts

  • Experience with FPGA design, simulation, and verification tools (Synopsys, Riviera, ModelSim, Questasim, etc.)

  • A desire to push the boundaries on performance and lower latency

  • Passion for innovation and building systems from the ground up

  • Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment

  • Careful attention to detail, and the vision and skill to push beyond expectations
