Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer
As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in building systems that drive the training and deployment of large-scale ML models across our global operations. You'll collaborate with leading researchers, hardware experts, and software engineers to build robust solutions that maximize the potential of GPU acceleration, distributed computing, and the latest open-source tools. Your work will influence our trading strategies by accelerating experimentation cycles that foster continuous innovation and refinement.
This is a unique opportunity to solve problems at the intersection of advanced machine learning and trading, where your contributions will shape the future of IMC’s technology and trading capabilities.
Your Core Responsibilities:
- The opportunity to be in a brand new position in a growing team
- Develop large-scale distributed training pipelines to manage datasets and complex models
- Build and optimize low-latency inference pipelines, ensuring models deliver real-time predictions in production systems
- Develop libraries to improve the performance of machine learning frameworks
- Maximize performance in training and inference using GPU hardware and acceleration libraries
- Design scalable model frameworks capable of handling high-volume trading data and delivering real-time, high-accuracy predictions
- Collaborate with quantitative researchers to automate ML experiments, hyperparameter tuning, and model retraining
- Partner with HPC specialists to optimize workflows, improve training speed, and reduce costs
- Evaluate and roll out third-party tools to enhance model development, training, and inference capabilities
- Dig into the internals of open-source ML tools to extend their capabilities and improve performance
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
