WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A DATA SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
As a software engineer in our Global Historical Feed team you’ll create and maintain data services that empower IMC’s innovation and research. Given the team has just been created and is relatively new to IMC, you can consider this to be a greenfield project intended to build the new generation of products that provide historical feed data to the Machine Learning pipelines.
You can create tremendous impact by:
- Developing and extending in-house data toolkits based in Java, Kotlin and Python
- Developing historical market feed pipelines for ML model training and simulation
- Consulting with many different stakeholders on a global level on data solutions. Assist them in identifying a solution which best matches both their problem space and our internal data infrastructure and guide them in building and deploying that solution most effectively
- Improve the usability of financial analytics platforms built around our big-data ecosystem
- Identify, develop and implement evolutionary and revolutionary improvements to IMC’s data infrastructure.
WHAT MAKES IT FUN?
- IMC is on the cutting edge of financial applications, processing terabytes of data daily for mission-critical trading
- We always aim to use the right tools for the trade, regardless of hype. If something new can potentially bring an advantage we will often try, adopt and incorporate that new technology.
- We work end to end. On the Data Services team you will be involved in every stage of developing your solutions, from architecture to implementation. You are empowered to make decisions and improve the solution at every layer, from the API down to the hardware.
- The landscape is always changing creating new and exciting challenges. What we focus on today is very different than what we focused on two years ago.
- We really believe in sharing knowledge and technology between the different offices. Much of our technology stack is shared globally between our offices, and we provide opportunities to travel between the regions both for personal growth and to assist where it has the biggest impact.
- Working at IMC is a great way to gain exposure to and learn about financial markets and technology. We know from experience that a lot of people really enjoy learning about a field beyond their immediate area of expertise, it’s one of the things that makes this job more interesting than others.
- We employ a broad range of people with varying backgrounds. What they have in common is their superior technical expertise, their extraordinary smarts and their collaborative approach.
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE ROLE
- At minimum, 5 years of working experience in Software Development related positions
- Strong development skills in Java and Python (knowledge onC++ is considered a plus)
- Experience working in a data focused environment, with at least basic knowledge of datalakes, throughput optimizations, K8S, on-prem data storage solutions and Cloud computing
- 3+ year of experience with Hadoop SQL interfaces including Hive and Impala and experience using Spark is preferable
- User-focused attitude and passionate to deliver a usable product to users, rather than just technology itself.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
At IMC, no two projects or any two days are the same. You can expect a dynamic, fast-paced environment that delivers a steady stream of challenges. One of the most exciting aspects of the job is our quick feedback loop.
Our workforce is just as varied. IMCers are drawn from a broad range of nationalities and backgrounds; what they have in common is their deep technical expertise, extraordinary smarts and highly collaborative approach. We give people lots of responsibility and the support they need to make an impact from day one. As a performance engineer, you’ll have the chance to learn everything you need to know about financial markets – it’s just one of the things that make this job more interesting than other tech and research roles.
Our flat structure and open, collaborative culture stimulate the sharing of ideas, knowledge and technology between our different teams and offices.
WHAT WE OFFER
We hire from the top 10% of the global tech community and we reward accordingly. Beyond this, we offer our software engineers an extensive range of training and personal development opportunities, as well as the chance to work with the latest technologies.
We offer a vibrant office environment, a free catered breakfast and lunch and a ready supply of fresh fruit, snacks and drinks. Our office is a great place to work from, but so is your home. That’s why we moved to a flexible hybrid model that allows for both. IMCers are given tools to do their job in comfort, no matter where they work from.
While we work hard, we also have a lot of fun. As part of IMC, you’ll get to enjoy our annual company trip and numerous social events throughout the year, as well as Friday drinks at our in-house bar. There will also be regular opportunities to give back to society through our charity foundations.
