Eagle Seven is seeking a highly skilledSoftware Developer to join our Hardware Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of hardware and software, acting as a critical link between custom FPGA-based systems and our internal trading platform. You will design and build ultra-low-latency solutions, including high-performance APIs, kernel drivers, and diagnostic tooling, to support and enhance automated trading capabilities. The successful candidate will be a self-starter, have strong sense of ownership and be driven to provide technical and intellectual solutions to business problems.

Primary Responsibilities include:

Designing, developing, and maintaining high-performance APIs in C++ to integrate FPGA hardware with internal trading systems
Developing and optimizing Linux kernel drivers with a focus on PCIe communication, DMA transfers, interrupt handling, and memory management to achieve ultra low-latency
Partnering with FPGA engineers to support unit testing, lab bring-up, and validation of SystemVerilog/Verilog designs using software-driven test frameworks
Building and maintaining diagnostic tools and automation utilities in Python and C++ for FPGA configuration, monitoring, deployment, and troubleshooting
Conduct in-depth analysis of trading system performance using host logs, packet captures (PCAPs), and custom telemetry data to identify bottlenecks and optimize throughput and latency
Implementing, tuning, and optimizing TCP/UDP/IP stacks and Ethernet-based communication for high frequency trading (HFT) environments

5-7+ years of relevant experience
Experience in an HFT or proprietary trading environment preferred
Expert level proficiency in C++ 14/17 for systems programming; strong Python skills for automation and tooling
Advanced understanding of TCP/IP, UDP, Ethernet protocols, and the OSI model within low-latency systems
Strong knowledge of PCIe protocols and DMA engine architecture
Deep understanding of the Linux kernel, including driver development, kernel internals, interrupt handling, and kernel-bypass techniques
Experience with low-level system design concepts such as cache coherency, NUMA architectures, and memory-mapped I/O
Familiarity with SystemVerilog or Verilog, including the ability to read and interpret RTL
Experience with network capture and analysis tools (e.g., Wireshark, Corvil) and hardware debugging tools
Exposure to FPGA development toolchains such as Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus
Ability to work in a collaborative environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
