Your training will continue back at your local office, where you’ll receive support from your dedicated mentor, an experienced software engineer at IMC. What happens next is up to you – you could find yourself working on systems that handle big data, advanced algorithms, or anything in between.

  • Develop cutting-edge technology in advanced algorithms
  • Support the development of our trading platform and software stack
  • Gain experience across the entire software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with traders, quant researchers, and hardware engineers to improve our systems

  • A working knowledge of algorithms and data structures
  • First-class analytical skills and a desire to solve complicated problems programmatically
  • A genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)
