WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

IMC is a leading global market maker using algorithmic trading and advanced technology to buy and sell securities across multiple trading venues worldwide. From our offices in Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney and Mumbai we provide liquidity to the financial markets, driving efficiencies for buyers and sellers.

 

YOUR JOURNEY AS A GRADUATE TRADER

Your IMC journey begins with a seven-week global trading traineeship led by our seasoned traders and technologist, during which you’ll link up with graduates from all four IMC offices. You’ll then continue your training in your local office for a further two months before joining a desk that matches your specific background and strengths. Where you go from here is up to you – we’ll help you carve out your own niche as you use your creativity to explore new opportunities in our markets. And you’ll gain real recognition for your ideas and successes along the way.

 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

As a graduate trader at IMC, you will

  • Trade a wide range of financial instruments

  • Develop, maintain and improve trading strategies and algorithms

  • Manage the execution and risk of complex trading portfolios

  • Work closely with IMC’s technology developers and engineers

  • Have the support of your very own mentor

 

REASONS WHY THIS IS YOUR FUTURE JOB

  • You love solving complex problems

  • You want a real-time connection to the world economy, and the knowledge to act on it

  • You want your decisions to directly impact the company’s trading profits

  • You value creativity, teamwork and innovation

  • You want the freedom to find your niche and excel

 

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR?

  • Superior analytical skills

  • Genuine interest in financial markets, though no prior knowledge or experience is required

  • A team player – at IMC we’re all in it together

  • Experience in a programming language (e.g. Python, Matlab or R) is an advantage

  • Academic background in a quantitative field (e.g. Mathematics, Physics or Econometrics)

 

WHAT MAKES IT FUN?

You will have ample opportunities to learn and develop yourself both on the job and trough training. We recently set up our Mumbai office less than a year ago, so it is buzzing with start-up culture. You will work in a cool office with fun colleagues and an informal atmosphere.

IMC encourages all associates to bring their ideas to the table and not be intimidated to question an approach or idea if there’s a better way to solve a problem. We employ a broad range of people with varying backgrounds. What they have in common is their superior technical expertise, extraordinary intellect and collaborative approach.

 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

At IMC, no two days are the same. Our workforce is just as varied. We give people lots of responsibility and the support they need to make an impact from day one. Our flat structure and open collaborative culture stimulate the sharing of ideas, knowledge and technology between our different teams.
