C++ Software Engineer
Summary
C++ engineer on IMC Trading's Mumbai execution team, building latency-critical software at the heart of a proprietary trading stack — market connectivity, large-scale data handling, trading algorithms, and hardware integration. Core stack: C++20 on Linux with Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka/Spark/Hadoop, Python, and FPGAs.
IMC’s Mumbai 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 organization. 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.
These are just some of the technologies our C++ software engineers are currently working with: C++ 20, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Impala, Hadoop, Python and FPGAs.
