The role involves improving software workflows, building infrastructure for development processes, and optimizing trading systems to enhance developer efficiency.
At IMC, technology is the driving force behind everything we do. Our in-house developed software executes millions of trading decisions each day, enabling us to outperform the competition by making smarter and faster choices.
We're looking for an experienced software developer to join our productivity team, with strong communication skills to join the team. The productivity team exists to amplify the effectiveness of trading, research, and engineering teams. Instead of directly building trading strategies, they provide tools, infrastructure, and processes that reduce friction and accelerate delivery.
The role requires building robust solutions and solving challenges up and down the tech stack. This team spearheads and accelerates migration to the Bazel build system across IMC codebases and continually tackles bottlenecks in build processes, whether they are impactful one-line fixes or sweeping architectural shifts. The team supports codebases in a variety of languages, including Python, C++, and Java, to improve the daily productivity of hundreds of developers across the globe.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
