Qube Research and Technologies

Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) is a global quantitative and systematic investment manager, operating in all liquid asset classes across the world. We are a technology and data driven group implementing a scientific approach to investing. Combining data, research, technology and trading expertise has shaped QRT's collaborative mindset which enables us to solve the most complex challenges. QRT's culture of innovation continuously drives our ambition to deliver high quality returns for our investors.


Your future role within QRT:

QRT are a rapidly growing hedge fund trading globally in competitive financial markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. As part of the next phase of development we are rolling out hardware platforms to accelerate our trading systems. FPGA development will be at the heart of many of these systems with a focus on high frequency trading.

We are looking for a range of experience from graduates through to senior engineers, so your achievements may be in academia or industry.

You will have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies and have your voice heard in this fast paced firm. Working with trading teams you will take ownership of:
  • Translating trading ideas into the most appropriate solutions
  • Develop RTL on the latest FPGAs with modern design flows
  • Following through into production, analysing results and optimising
Your present skillset:
  • A deep understanding of FPGA architecture leading to efficient designs
  • Full lifecycle RTL development including automated verification
  • Python scripting
  • A working knowledge of C/C++ development
  • An ability to see through complexity to identify simple solutions
  • A realisation that good teamwork is essential to modern development


Base salary range for this position is $180,000 to $280,000 per year.


QRT Total Compensation includes discretionary performance-based bonuses and a competitive benefits package.
