The role
As a Performance Engineer at IMC, you will play a pivotal role in analysing, optimising, and tuning our systems' interaction with exchange systems holistically. Working closely with traders and engineers, you'll be tasked with uncovering performance improvements across the trading stack. This role combines technical ingenuity with creative problem-solving to outsmart competition in one of the most demanding technical landscapes.
What you will do
- Black Box Reverse Engineering and Analysis: Analyse and understand the behaviour of complex, live systems — such as exchange connectivity and market data feeds — using black-box techniques, with no source code access. Design and run statistical experiments against real data to explain emergent real-world phenomena and identify performance bottlenecks and optimisation opportunities. This is investigative work aimed at systems you can observe but not disassemble, not static binary or malware analysis.
