WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT A TECHNOLOGY CAREER AT IMC?

At IMC, technology is not a department; it’s at the heart of everything we do. Since the late 1980s, we’ve pioneered the use of technology to advance the development of market making and low-latency trading. Today, our technologists work alongside IMC traders in multidisciplinary teams to push the limits of possibility, and then look beyond. In our fast-paced environment, short feedback loops and rapid systems development put new features in users’ hands as quickly as possible.

GRADUATE HARDWARE ENGINEER:
Are you someone who is passionate about challenging the status quo? Do you enjoy the process of problem solving, a process where you recognize areas of improvement and iterate and innovate to improve? Does your curiosity and desire to learn drive you?

ROLE OVERVIEW:
If so, then join IMC as a Hardware Engineer! At IMC, Hardware Engineers don’t just write code and design technology. They are responsible for spotting new opportunities, developing new technologies and solving problems. As a result, they deliver results and make a difference. IMC knows that having the best technology is what drives our business. Hardware development here is innovative, pragmatic and fun, even as complexity grows.
 

As a Hardware Engineer you will learn what it means to be an Engineer in a real-world environment. The program is focused on enhancing your knowledge of algorithm complexity, professional design, and writing fluent code. Your responsibility does not stop at programming; it also encompasses knowledge building of our business model and building relationships across our trading and technology teams.
 

As a Hardware Engineer at IMC you will be supported by both a mentor and a lead who will oversee your projects and professional development. You will enjoy close collaboration with team members, as well as participate in our incredible social activities and events.
