Apply now and take the next step in your career with us!
Who We Are:
IC Markets, a global leader in trading with over 15 years of success, a strong international presence, and a team of skilled professionals, remains at the forefront of financial technology innovation. As an agile company that values growth and collaboration, we offer an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic industry where innovation meets excellence.
What You’ll Do:
We are a principal trading operation - not an intermediary. We internalise flow, manage LP relationships at scale, and make real-time routing decisions across millions of trades. The margin between getting execution right and getting it wrong is not abstract: it maps directly to P&L, LP cost, and client experience. This role exists because we are building the next generation of our trading intelligence stack - specifically the systems that translate quantitative models and behavioural signals into real-time execution decisions. You will work at the intersection of quant research and production systems: implementing models that matter, in environments where latency and correctness are both non- negotiable. You will not be maintaining legacy code. You will be designing and building systems that did not exist before - working alongside quantitative analysts and trading professionals who care deeply about getting this right.
What We’re Looking For:
• Low-latency C++ components within our trading and execution infrastructure.
• Real-time signal processing pipelines - toxicity scoring, flow classification, execution quality metrics.
• FIX protocol connectivity layers for market venue integration and order routing.
• Backend services translating quant model outputs into actionable routing and hedging decisions.
• Large-scale data processing systems for strategy validation and backtesting frameworks.
• Performance-critical analytics across ClickHouse for historical and real-time trade data.
• Cross-platform build infrastructure across Linux and Windows environments.
Qualifications:
Required
• Deep C++ proficiency - production-grade, performance-critical, real-time systems.
• Hands-on HFT or low-latency design experience - you understand the stack from the OS up.
• FIX protocol implementation experience - you have built or maintained real market connectivity.
• Python with Pandas, NumPy, SciPy for research support and strategy validation pipelines.
• ClickHouse for analytical workloads - schema design, query performance, large-scale joins.
• Relational database experience: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL.
• Toolchain fluency: g++, MSVC, Make/CMake - you can manage your own build environment.
• REST API design and implementation for cross-system integration.
• Git and professional version control workflows.
Strongly Preferred
• Experience in CFD, or electronic trading market structure.
• MT4/MT5 or cTrader platform familiarity - data structures, plugin architecture.
• AWS or cloud infrastructure experience.
• Distributed systems or parallel computing background.
• Market microstructure understanding - what drives spread, toxicity, adverse selection.
Who thrives here:
- Engineers who operate at the boundary of systems and markets. You understand that a microsecond matters and that a misclassified client cohort can cost more than a slow query.
- You have opinions about architecture and you can defend them with data. You are precise, careful, and deeply skeptical of systems you have not stress-tested.
- You want to work somewhere the models are not decorative - where what you build changes how the firm routes trades, manages risk, and understands flow quality. You are comfortable working with quantitative analysts as a peer: you can read a research spec, ask the right questions, and produce an implementation that honours the intent.
Working Schedule:
- On-site Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00
- After the completion of the probation period, hybrid Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00 (3 days from office, 2 days from home)
