DISCOVER YOUR CAREER AT IMC AMSTERDAM
If you grow, we grow.
A GLOBAL TRADING FIRM POWERED BY RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
IMC stands for International Marketmakers Combination.
It was founded in 1989 by two traders working on the floor of the Amsterdam Equity Options Exchange. Back then, trading was executed on the exchange floor by traders manually calculating the price to buy or sell. IMC was among the first to spot the importance of technology and innovation in the evolution of market making and invested early, helping shape the future of trading.
In 35+ years, we’ve scaled globally, with offices in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Today, IMC is where the brightest minds in quant research, tech, and trading collaborate to solve the most challenging problems in the trading industry. We hire and develop exceptional, high-performing people, and empower them with cutting-edge, disruptive technologies – including AI, machine learning, and large-scale computing.
