HARDWARE ENGINEERING
Our field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware is the backbone of IMC’s proprietary trading infrastructure. It gives us the latency edge needed to make critical trading decisions at lightning speed.
But, as we continue to grow, our hardware has to deliver much more than speed. IMC's hardware engineers work closely with other global teams to provide the capacity we need to expand our trading coverage and capitalise on new market opportunities.
WE COLLABORATE TO SUCCEED
IMC has one of the largest dedicated FPGA engineering setups in trading. Across our offices, IMC engineers work as a single, global team under the same codebase. Free from silos or internal competition, they can develop local solutions today and leverage another region’s designs tomorrow.
A CROSS-FUNCTIONAL CULTURE
Our collaborative approach also cuts across functions. On our office whiteboards, hardware engineers work in lockstep with software engineers and traders, carefully dissecting trading algorithms into the pieces that are best suited for hardware versus software.
Our teams then reassemble these pieces, run them thousands of times per second, and instrument every part of the system to ensure we’ve made the right choices.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF FROM DAY ONE
You may have written RTL in school, but that's nothing compared to the work we do here. Removing a bit from RAM opens up a whole new world of optimisations, but which bit do you remove?
As an FPGA engineer, you’re asked to make these kinds of trade-offs and more each day, all while balancing the mission-critical nature of our trading infrastructure.
LEARN FROM THE BEST
At IMC, you’re never alone. Every new hire is mentored by a talented group of junior and senior engineers. You bring the curiosity and the drive. We bring the expertise: teaching you how to write production-ready RTL and bulletproof verification.
