Your IMC journey as a Graduate Software Engineer will begin with a five-week Global Trainee Program led by our seasoned engineers and traders alongside graduates from all three IMC regions: Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific. During this traineeship, you'll deepen your knowledge about trading and financial markets, understand the tools and systems used at IMC, and learn how to write production software, craftsmanship and advanced topics in C++. Your training will continue back at your local office, where you'll receive support from your dedicated mentor, an experienced software engineer at IMC. What happens next is up to you - you could find yourself working advanced networks, proprietary algorithms, or anything in between.
Your Core Responsibilities

  • Develop cutting-edge technology in advanced algorithms
  • Support the development of our trading platform and software stack
  • Gain experience across the entire software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with traders, quant researchers, and hardware engineers to improve our systems


Your Skills and Experiences

  • In your ultimate year of study in computer science, software engineering, or a related field graduating, and are seeking to join IMC full-time in February or August 2025
  • Proficiency in C++ is required
  • A working knowledge of algorithms and data structures
  • First-class analytical skills and a desire to solve complicated problems programmatically
  • A genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)


Please note: If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in September 2025. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.
IMC Trading's operations are global in nature and the ability to travel to the United States for work is a requirement of the graduate traineeship program. Please note that the U.S. Consulate General is currently facing challenges with visa approvals for candidates from Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine. As a result, we will be unable to proceed with your candidacy for the graduate traineeship program at this time. We greatly appreciate your understanding and hope to consider you for future opportunities.
If you are a dual-passport holder of a country other than Russia, Belarus, Iran or Ukraine, we encourage you to apply and inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: CampusEU@imc.com .
