The role requires building robust solutions and solving challenges up and down the tech stack. The team owns and evolves IMC's build systems and development tooling, continually tackling bottlenecks in build and development processes, whether that means an impactful one-line fix or migrating an entire codebase to Bazel. 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.
Your Core Responsibilities
- Identify and implement improvements to software development workflows, from targeted, iterative refinements to sweeping architectural redesigns.
- Scale and advance IMC's trading systems builds and development tooling to support an excellent work environment for developers.
- Optimise compile times, improve code quality systems, and simplify software processes to improve the daily workflow of engineers
- Troubleshoot potential issues with build infrastructure and implementing improvements.
- Design and build infrastructure supporting the development, build, test, and release processes.
- Partner with development teams to align platform capabilities with their evolving needs, and drive adoption of best practices in code health, development productivity, and maintainability.
Your Skills and Experience:
- 3+ years of software development experience in Python, Java, and/or C++ required.
- Knowledge of stable, dependable build environments and rapid feedback cycles.
