ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Maven is a market-leading proprietary trading firm allocating internal capital across discretionary, systematic, and market-making strategies. Our collective expertise spans traders, engineers, and technologists, unified by an unwavering dedication to enhance our efficiency as a premier liquidity provider for globally listed derivatives.

Overview:

Where technology meets trading, the Maven FPGA team is pushing the bleeding edge of hardware and proprietary designs to maintain and gain advantage in an increasingly competitive environment.
