Original posting
IMC | Chicago, IL | Full-time, INTERNS | ONSITE | Software Engineer, FPGA Engineer
We are actively hiring talented engineers to grow our trading operations across the world. Entry-level, junior, and experienced. For intern/entry-level software roles, prior experience in Java or C++ helpful but not strictly necessary. Also actively hiring entry-level, intermediate, and senior FPGA engineers. Prior financial industry knowledge helpful but by no means required.
We are building, optimizing, and scaling high-frequency trading systems. It's fun and challenging. We have a very open and collaborative culture and you will find yourself working closely with traders, quants, network and system engineers, and other devs. We release code nightly and generally have a quick iteration loop: your 'clients' are frequently the coworkers sitting next to you, so you can work closely together to get to a solution. You'll learn a lot, and hopefully we'll learn a lot from you :)
I lead our dev onboarding team where we focus on getting you the knowledge and insight to be effective at IMC. Despite kicking up our growth rate, we regard a highly interactive and in-depth training and mentoring process to be critical to our growth. A typical day finds me reviewing a lot of code and discussing design and implementation with the rest of the team, as well as fostering the onboardees' relationships with the rest of the organization.
INTERNSHIPS: We’ve found the best and most educational internship experiences come from working on production code. Our interns spend the summer working with our full-time software developers on their projects. Learn a ton from real code reviews and find out how building software together in a continuous-delivery environment is different from typical one-off homework assignments.
IMC is a leading derivatives market-marker with offices across the world and was founded in Amsterdam in 1989. https://www.imc.com
