Full Job Description

About us

Edgehog Trading is a proprietary trading firm specializing in electronic options market making. We take a technology-driven approach, designing and operating automated, scalable systems to provide liquidity across markets.

Our team spans trading, engineering, and business operations, working together to build and support the systems that power the firm. We emphasize data-driven decision making, rigorous problem solving, and continuous improvement to navigate complex and evolving markets.

We operate in a highly collaborative environment where ideas can move quickly from concept to implementation, and where individuals are empowered to take ownership and contribute directly to the firm’s growth.

What you'll do:

Design, implement, and verify RTL logic in Verilog or SystemVerilog targeting ultra-low-latency trading applications
Develop simulation testbenches and functional verification environments to validate FPGA designs before hardware deployment
Work closely with senior FPGA engineers and the trading infrastructure team to understand latency requirements and translate them into hardware design decisions
Run synthesis, place-and-route, and static timing analysis; iterate on designs to meet strict timing constraints
Participate in hardware bring-up and on-board debugging, using waveform analysis and other diagnostic tools
Use AI tools to accelerate your development workflow — RTL review, testbench generation, debugging, and documentation
Grow your understanding of market data protocols (Ethernet, PCIe, exchange feed formats) as they relate to the systems you build

Qualifications and skills:

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Hands-on experience with RTL design in Verilog or SystemVerilog — coursework, personal projects, or internship experience all count
Familiarity with FPGA simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim, QuestaSim, Vivado, Quartus) and the synthesis-to-deployment flow
Understanding of digital logic fundamentals: state machines, FIFOs, clock domain crossing, timing constraints
Comfort working in a Linux environment; Python, basic C or C++ is a plus
Ability and eagerness to incorporate AI tools into your development and debugging workflow
A strong desire to learn the HFT domain — no prior finance knowledge required
Strong analytical instincts: when something behaves unexpectedly in hardware, you dig until you find it

Why Edgehog:

Small team advantage: Direct access to founders and senior team members from day one
Ownership early: Manage real P&L and make meaningful impact within your first year
Cutting-edge tech: Work with our proprietary models and low-latency trading systems built in-house
Tight feedback loops: Weekly 1-on-1s with your mentor, quarterly reviews with leadership
Chicago-based: Affordable cost of living, vibrant trading community

Benefits:

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with premiums 100% covered by the firm
401(k) with a 4% company match
Unlimited paid time off and sick leave
Free lunch, coffee, drinks, and snacks
Commuter benefits
Monthly happy hours and annual team events

The base salary range for this position is listed below. Base salary represents just one part of overall compensation; all full-time, permanent roles are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including items in the above list.

The base salary for this role is 100,000 - 175,000 USD per year
