Description
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.
Your Skills and Experience:
- Strong academic background in Computer Science (B. Tech/B.E), with 4-8 years of work experience in C++
-
Natural problem-solvers, who enjoy tackling fresh challenges each day
- Team players: to succeed, SWEs must be able to build strong relationships with those around them
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; fluency in English

About this role
IMC Trading's Mumbai C++ team is seeking an engineer to work on latency-critical software that directly powers their trading operations. You'd be part of a multidisciplinary environment alongside traders, researchers, and quants, taking ownership of projects from requirements through production. The role demands strong C++ expertise (the team uses C++20 extensively) combined with systems-level thinking—you'll constantly balance competing priorities like latency, throughput, scalability, and maintainability while working across a modern stack that includes Linux, Kubernetes, Kafka, and hardware solutions like FPGAs.
This position suits someone with 4–8 years of C++ experience and a Computer Science degree who thrives on technical problem-solving and collaboration. You'll write high-performance, testable code in an environment that supports rapid iteration through automated testing and daily deployments. Strong communication skills matter here; you'll need to articulate technical trade-offs and work effectively across engineering, trading, and research teams. If you're drawn to the intersection of rigorous software engineering and real-time systems in financial markets, this is a substantive technical role with genuine ownership.
