Hardware Engineer

As a member of Tibra’s Hardware Development team, you will build low latency trading systems using state of the art hardware technologies. We approach our hardware systems in the same manner as our software systems, using effective development tools to ensure we rapidly produce high quality, reliable solutions. Tibra’s hardware development team is responsible for ensuring our trading systems operate at the lowest possible latency. We use a mix of C++, Haskell and VHDL to develop our low latency trading systems, so experience in any of these languages is highly valued. A thorough understanding of digital design will also be beneficial. We compete in some of the most competitive markets in the world, so you will need to innovate and constantly push our systems forward.What you will be doing:

• Design, develop, test and deploy improvements to our hardware stack
• Optimise hardware designs to ensure our trading systems operate and the lowest possible latency
• Work with our team of developers to integrate hardware solutions with software trading systems
