About Belvedere Trading
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. We invest in our proprietary technology and commit 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.
The FPGA team is comprised of both hardware and software engineers responsible for the component that interfaces with the trading system down to the hardware. The FPGA Team Lead will work closely with our hardware and software engineers, traders, and analysts to identify latency-critical operations and evaluate FPGA based project feasibility based on hardware constraints. Belvedere Trading is looking for a self-starter with a track record of success as both an individual contributor as well as a manager.
