We are looking for an FPGA Engineer to help us design, test, and deploy advanced hardware accelerators. You will be part of the ultra-low latency team, but you’ll also have the chance to work with people in areas across the firm, including trading, networking, and research infrastructure.
We are big believers in the ability of tools to improve the productivity, reliability, and day-to-day joy of hardware engineering. That’s why we created Hardcaml, a hardware development toolchain embedded in OCaml.
While we don’t expect you to know OCaml (we can teach it to you), we are looking for hardware engineers who are excited about the advantages that better tools can bring and as a result are willing to try new things. We are also looking for a particular mix of skills and experience:
- Practical experience of RTL design and testing
- Experience with back-end tooling like Vivado and Quartus
- An interest in using software engineering techniques to improve the hardware design process and experience programming in a high-level language (e.g., Python, C++, Java, Haskell, etc.)
- Experience with PCIe, SERDES integration, and high-performance Ethernet/InfiniBand are a plus
- Experience working on trading-related applications is a plus

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
