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 mean projects worked on in the morning can enter production the next day.
Role Overview:
IMC is currently looking for a talented and passionate Systems Engineer to play a critical role in maintaining and perfecting our trading systems. As a Systems Engineer, you will be practicing DevOps and implementing site reliability engineering techniques to improve IMC’s trading operations. You will be part of highly motivated team, facing the daily challenge of managing a high volume data flow in a complex environment distributed over a low latency infrastructure. In this role you will be exposed to many technical and trading challenges while ensuring high availability, stability and performance of the end-to-end environment.
The skills necessary to excel could range from system administration, network troubleshooting, database tuning, development, release management and performance engineering. This role provides frequent challenges, as no day is the same as the next. The person in this role will have the opportunity to make considerable impact as part of a dedicated, dynamic global team.
Your First Six Months:
You will start your career at IMC with an international traineeship in at least two of our global offices after which you will be mentored by one of our seasoned Engineers. On a day to day basis you will work directly with traders, quants and developers to bring our trading strategies and platform to the next level. Your responsibilities will include running our trading systems, ensuring high performance and uptime, and rolling out new features. You will have continuous opportunities to learn new tools and technologies in our dynamic environment. At IMC, we foster a supportive environment allowing you the freedom to contribute and assume real responsibility, even on day one.
What We Look For:
- BA/BSc/MA/MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or Technology with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
- Experience with Python scripting.
- Experience or desire to utilize Big Data technologies including Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka.
- Familiarity with Linux operating systems.
- Interest in deploying, running and monitoring applications. Knowledge of Docker or other DevOps tools a plus!
- Desire to utilize Big Data technologies.
- DevOps focused mindset with a comprehensive view of technology environments
- Broad experience across Mongo, MySQL, Java, networking, and server automation is beneficial but not a prerequisite.
