The BP&A Team sits at the heart of our operations, partnering closely with finance, trading, and middle office teams. We serve as the business intelligence and analysis function for IMC to turn complex data into insights that drive real decisions. This role also connects you with colleagues across Chicago, Amsterdam, and Sydney, all part of a truly global team reporting into a Global Lead.

• Team up with BI developers to shape best practices, and partner directly with finance, operations, and trading teams to keep the BP&A ecosystem running smoothly, reporting to the local lead
• Build tools that make things faster and smarter - boosting efficiency, streamlining data processing, and cutting load times
• Build high-end dashboards and visualization tools for stakeholders globally
• Work with large data sets and data pipelines that support storage, retrieval, and analysis across the finance organization

Your Skills and Experience: 

• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, or another quantitative field
• 2–5 years software engineering experience, ready to make an immediate impact
• Strong Python and SQL skills; React experience is a plus
• Hands-on experience with agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)
• Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI, Jira)
• Experience working in containerized environments (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker)
• Cloud experience required- AWS a plus
• Exposure to finance processes or AI/ML engineering a plus
• The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic, fast-moving environment and enjoys the challenge of things changing quickly; they also blend technical depth with business savvy, have sharp analytical instincts and the interpersonal skills to bring people along with them
