Job description

C++ Software Engineer

At IMC, technology is not a department; it’s at the heart of everything we do. Developed in-house, our innovative software makes millions of trading decisions daily, and we win by making better and faster decisions than our competition.

IMC’s Amsterdam-based C++ Execution development teams work on software that sits directly in the latency‑critical loop of our technology stack and touches every part of our organisation. From ensuring our connectivity to the market and handling massive amounts of data, to implementing complex trading algorithms and integrating advanced hardware solutions.

Your Core Responsibilities

As a software engineer, you’ll work in multidisciplinary teams alongside other engineers as well as traders, researchers, and quants to deliver challenging projects, while taking ownership for end‑to‑end product development – from requirements gathering to production. You’ll write reliable, high‑performance software while balancing time to production with quality and testability. Advanced automated testing and daily deployments will allow you to achieve agile and incremental benefits. Within a complex landscape of varying systems and technologies, you’ll be constantly challenged to consider trade‑offs between latency, throughput, simplicity, scalability and maintainability.

• Coding, developing, testing, deploying and maintaining applications and automations for Trading Teams and/or Hardware Development and Execution Teams.
• Working through internal client requests. Gathering details, requirements and feedback from a range of internal stakeholders in order to implement creative automation solutions using innovative coding practices.

Your Skills and Experience

• Minimum 5+ years professional working experience as a software engineer post graduation
• Strong programming skills in C++. Experience in the latest versions of C++ is highly desirable
• Familiarity with Python scripting
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes
• Comfortable in Linux environments
• Experience gathering business requirements, communicating with key stakeholders and delivering solutions quickly
• The ability to work on greenfield projects under minimal supervision and to take full ownership of the applications you build
• A high degree of flexibility and adaptability: willing and able to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in a rapidly evolving environment
• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills; ability to solve problems creatively and proactively
• Prior knowledge of trading / capital markets is not required. Curiosity and a willingness to learn is.
