Core Development is a global team of technologists who architect, build and maintain our world-class trading platform. From optimizing our core trading engine to building custom hardware, we leverage software & hardware engineering, data science and research, to deliver the infrastructure and tools that drive our trading and business needs.

*NOTE - We accept students needing placements or otherwise extended internships. We also allow internships to take place during a non-summer term (for example - the winter, spring, or fall months) if preferable when it makes sense.

We’re looking for brilliant engineering talent to join our FPGA team that is building next-generation, ultra-low-latency systems to power trading with machine learning and other algorithms on a global scale.  

You’ll work alongside a small team of experienced engineers who came to Jump from leading companies in FPGAs, semiconductors, networking cards, and more… as well as PhDs from top FPGA research labs around the world.  

This is an opportunity to work on complex problems around networking, high performance computing, and real-time acceleration where we can't just use off-the-shelf hardware. Other duties as assigned or needed.

Palpable Score

77.6
/ 100
Jump Trading provides strong early-career access for technical candidates through recurring campus internships and new-grad hiring across quant, research, and engineering tracks. Learning support and pay are standout strengths, but hiring transparency is capped by demanding assessments and limited published expectations on timelines and feedback. Early-career outcomes look positive in sentiment and progression signals, yet Jump Trading does not publish cohort-level conversion, promotion, or retention metrics.
