About the role

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 Amsterdam-based Global VMM Data team works on a centralised global data platform to serve high-quality curated data for Valuation Market Making (VMM) research and strategies all throughout IMC. We address the ever changing data requirements and our team tries to solve this in a young project building a central system to ingest, curate and expose data to our research tooling within IMC.

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.

Responsibilities

  • Coding, developing, testing, deploying and maintaining applications and automations for data curators, other VMM developers and Traders/researchers to support them and understand their actual needs and the data we serve them.
  • Working on a young project and being involved of the architectural design of our system.
  • Building a system that is highly-performant at serving petabytes of data globally.
