## Job description

At Optiver, FPGAs play a critical role in executing successful trades. With no external clients, we operate in a fast feedback, quick release environment.

As a FPGA Developer Intern at Optiver, you’ll work alongside experienced hardware engineers to ensure we have the fastest and most reliable trading systems in the industry. You’ll constantly be innovating with new technology in the hardware space, ensuring our latency is optimised to nanoseconds.

By the end of the 8-week internship, you’ll have deepened your understanding of how technology is used in the quantitative trading industry. Plus, if you’ve excelled over the summer, you’ll receive an offer to return as a Graduate FPGA Developer.

### What you’ll do:

Led by our in-house education team that consists of ex-traders and engineers, you’ll delve into advanced engineering concepts and lead innovative projects, during our world-class training program. In just a few weeks, you’ll develop latency-critical applications that contribute towards our trading success.

During the internship, you will be paired with one of Optiver’s seasoned FPGA developers, providing you exposure to a variety of areas, including:

•
Designing highly accurate and efficient systems that respond to the financial markets in real time.

•
Improving infrastructure and trading systems using the latest FPGA devices, tools and techniques.

•
Developing rigorous RTL codes or test benches using a combination of VHDL and System Verilog.

•
Investigate and explore innovative machine learning algorithms and cutting-edge data communication/processing technologies to optimize and enhance existing trading systems.

Aside from technical skills, our dedicated education team will also work with you on your development, including:

•
Workshops on a variety of tech-based topics, along with soft skills to support your holistic growth as a developer.

•
A dedicated mentor who will guide you through our development process and how our trading systems work.

•
Trader training to get you up to speed on our business. This helps you understand the fundamentals of trading, enabling you to make an impact from the early stages of your Optiver career.

### What you’ll get:

You’ll join a culture of collaboration and excellence, where you’ll be surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem solvers. Driven by a passion for continuous improvement, you’ll thrive in a supportive, high-performing environment alongside talented colleagues, working collectively to tackle the most complex problems in the financial markets.

### In addition, you’ll receive:

•
A highly competitive remuneration package.

•
Optiver-covered flights and accommodation for the duration of the internship.

•
The opportunity to work alongside diverse and intelligent peers in a rewarding environment.

•
Training, mentorship and personal development opportunities.

•
Gym membership, plus weekly in-house chair massages.

•
Daily breakfast, lunch and in-house barista.

•
Regular social events.

### Who you are:

•
Masters or PhD Students who are graduating in 2028 or after 2027 September.

•
Studying an Electronic/ Electrical Engineering/ Microelectronics/ Computer Science or similarly technical degree.

•
Familiar with Xilinx or Intel FPGA device architecture, design flows, tools, and digital logic design concepts.

•
Familiar with HDL languages: VHDL and/or Verilog as well as some experience with Python and/or C++.

•
Knowledgeable about Linux commands and scripts.

•
Understand network protocols: Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP.

•
Deeply passionate about technology, particularly FPGA hardware, and have a range of out-of-classroom projects or activities to prove it.
