C++ Software Engineer
IMC is seeking a highly skilled C++ Software Engineer to join our Amsterdam-based Execution development team. As a Software Engineer, you will design and develop software solutions tailored to the hardware-specific needs of our global trading system with a focus on optimizing performance. Our dynamic, fast-paced tech environment enables collaboration and rapid feedback loops across global teams. You will be responsible for spotting new opportunities, solving problems, and developing innovative technologies. Software development here is innovative, pragmatic, and fun, even as complexity grows.
Your core responsibilities will include designing and building low-latency, high-performance trading systems. You will optimize production code and other system components to achieve low-latency and high-throughput capabilities. Additionally, you will write highly performant software solutions to control and interface with hardware components such as ASICs and FPGAs. Collaborating closely with hardware engineers and cross-functional teams, you will understand requirements and implement effective solutions. Ensuring seamless integration of new applications and enhancements to the existing trading infrastructure is also a key part of the role.
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field of study.
