Software Engineer - Deployment Tools

At IMC, technology is not a department; it's at the heart of everything we do. Developed in-house, our innovative software makes millions of trading decisions daily, and we win by making better and faster decisions than our competition.
IMC's Platform Engineering team in Sydney works closely with our global counterparts to deliver the runtime environments and services on which IMC's cutting-edge trading and business applications run. We work on a wide variety of systems and tools that utilize a combination of in-house, open source, and 3rd party technologies. We are currently looking to expand our Deployment Tools team.
The Deployment Tools team develops and operates scalable, business critical systems and tools that configure, deploy, upgrade, and operate IMC software. They gather requirements and feedback from a range of internal stakeholders to design and implement creative solutions to efficiently keep tens of thousands of services and applications running and up to date with the latest releases.
