Develop and deploy deep learning models for high- to mid-frequency delta-one trading in APAC. Perform large-scale data analysis, collaborate with traders and engineers, improve model architecture and training, mentor junior researchers, and align distributed training hardware to production needs.
IMC is looking for experienced quant researchers to develop high to mid frequency delta one trading strategies and predictive models for the APAC markets. If you're excited about helping to push the boundaries of what we can do with Machine Learning in trading, unlocking the significant edges we have in execution, and collaborating to become the best trading firm worldwide, this may be the role for you.
You will be responsible for performing large scale data analysis to derive statistically profitable predictions of market behaviour. These predictions are used to inform all of our trading, and improvements have a high and visible impact across the office. You will also help to shape the direction we take across research and tooling. We have longstanding and significant edges across market access, global reach, Options understanding and low latency. The rapid growth we've already seen in Machine Learning has unlocked these edges, and some of the most interesting and impactful problems are now being tackled.
You will work as part of an established and growing research team, collaborating closely with traders, software and hardware developers to find improvements to our models and see them impact our production results. IMC competes and wins as a team, with open idea sharing and collaboration across disciplines, desks and offices.

What you need to know about the Sydney Tech Scene
From opera to comedy shows, the Sydney Opera House hosts more than 1,600 performances a year, yet its entertainment sector isn't the only one taking center stage. The city's tech sector has earned a reputation as one of the fastest-growing in the region. More specifically, its IT sector stands out as the country's third-largest, growing at twice the rate of overall employment in the past decade as businesses continue to digitize their operations to stay competitive.
