Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on, entrepreneurial Trading Engineer to join our Strategy Development team. This role sits at the heart of IMC’s trading operation, where technology, data, and market strategy meet. You’ll own systems that power our trading strategies, build automations that make us faster and smarter, and keep our trading running smoothly under pressure.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with an SRE or operations engineering background who wants to get closer to the action, where milliseconds matter and creativity drives impact.

Your Core Responsibilities: 

  • Be on the front lines of trading: Monitor system health and performance in real time, respond to market-driven incidents, and ensure our systems stay up and fast during trading hours. Dive deep into distributed architectures to identify root causes and prevent recurrences.
  • Engineer away the pain: Build tools and automations that eliminate manual processes, scale our reliability, and free time for innovation.
  • Collaborate across disciplines: Partner with traders, quants, and developers to deliver high-impact improvements to our trading stack.
  • Continuously improve: Challenge existing processes, propose creative solutions, and drive reliability and performance through engineering excellence.
