Java Software Engineer

WHAT YOU’LL DO AS A JAVA 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 Sydney based Java teams work on a wide variety of applications, tools and functionalities, including trading algorithm implementations, option pricing, calculating volatility, simulation frameworks, market risk applications, trade reconciliation applications and data analysis & visualisation tools for traders. We frequently need to develop not just the business applications themselves, but also the tools that keep our development process at the cutting edge.

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.

OUR TECHNOLOGY STACK 

Our tech stack includes an ever-evolving range of systems and technologies, and our engineers have the freedom to choose the best solution for the problem at hand. If a new technology has the potential to add value, we’ll actively invest in exploring, adopting and developing it.

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 software 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 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 provide our software engineers an extensive range of training and personal development opportunities, as well as the chance to work with the latest technologies. While we work hard, we also have a lot of fun. As part of the IMC family, 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
