High-frequency derivatives trading infrastructure and strategy execution
Quantiq operates a specialized trading firm focused on high-frequency derivatives across major global markets. The stack is tightly engineered around low-latency execution: C++, FPGAs, Verilog, and custom hardware acceleration sit alongside Python and Linux infrastructure. Active projects reveal operational maturity concerns—deployment pipelines, failover drills, and conversion of manual processes to automation—suggesting the firm is scaling beyond founder-mode engineering into repeatable, fault-tolerant systems.
Quantiq is a proprietary trading partnership headquartered in Austin, founded in 2016. The firm specializes in high-frequency derivatives trading across the world's largest markets, combining algorithmic strategy with custom hardware and low-latency systems design. Operations span a lean 11–50-person team split evenly between engineering and operations roles, with the majority at senior level. The technical footprint reflects the demands of microsecond-scale execution: custom FPGA platforms, C++ trading engines, and rigorous network configuration.
Core languages: C++, Python. Hardware: FPGAs (Vivado, Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog). Infrastructure: Linux, Fedora, TCP/IP, VPN, DNS, DHCP. Monitoring/diagnostics: Wireshark, PowerShell, Bash.
