- Work directly with traders, risk managers and engineers, locally and globally, to turn their requirements into robust, scalable solutions
- Improve the reliability, latency and throughput of systems that every IMC trading desk depends on
- Own your work end to end, from design and testing through deployment, monitoring and production support
- Contribute to code reviews, design discussions and engineering standards across a global team
Your Skills and Experience:
- 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience, with Java as your primary language
- Strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency and multithreading
- Experience building and running distributed, server-side systems in production
- A solid grasp of software design, testing and clean, maintainable code
- Clear communication and the ability to work with non-engineering stakeholders to understand what they need
- Ownership and curiosity: you take problems through to the end and want to understand how things work
Nice to have
- Experience with Kubernetes and containerised deployments
- Exposure to financial markets or trading systems, especially positions, risk or PnL
