Description
IMC is launching a new power and gas trading business in Aarhus, Denmark – the European hub for energy trading. We are building a strong, independent, Aarhus-based team with local leadership, backed by more than 30 years of IMC’s global trading expertise.
As a Graduate Software Engineer in Aarhus, you’ll have the unique opportunity to help build a brand-new technology stack that supports all aspects of energy trading – from exchange connectivity and pricing to trading algorithms and real-time data analysis. You’ll grow rapidly through our global graduate program while contributing from day one to this exciting new venture.
Your IMC Journey
In your first year, you will join a five-week Global Trainee Program alongside graduates from our offices in Europe, the US, and Asia-Pacific. Led by experienced engineers and traders, this immersive program will introduce you to the world of trading, financial markets, and production-grade software development. You’ll dive deep into software craftsmanship, programming, and the systems that power our trading operations.
Back in our Aarhus office, you’ll join the Energy Trading team — a highly collaborative environment where you’ll help design real-time systems, process large volumes of data, and solve complex engineering challenges that directly impact the markets.
At IMC, innovation is at our core. We continuously invest in R&D and adapt quickly to evolving markets. We also invest in you — offering extensive training, mentorship, and global exposure to help you grow fast in a high-impact environment.
Your Core Responsibilities
- Design and build high-performance technology that supports energy trading
- Work on the full software development lifecycle, from idea to deployment
- Develop real-time pricing and trading systems, exchange connectivity, and analytics tools
- Collaborate closely with traders, researchers, and other engineers
- Be part of a new local team in Aarhus and shape its growth and culture
What You’ll Bring
- You are in your final year of a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related degree, and graduating in 2027
- Strong programming skills in C++/Java
- Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- A genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge required)
- Full professional fluency in English
- You’re excited by the opportunity to shape a new business and build innovative systems from the ground up

Please note: If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in Summer 2027. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.
Due to current U.S. immigration and visa restrictions, some candidates may not be eligible to obtain the U.S. business visa required as part of our Global Traineeship Programme. As the programme includes mandatory training in the United States shortly after joining, we are unfortunately unable to proceed with applications from candidates who are unable to obtain the required visa within the programme timeline.
If you are a dual passport holder of another nationality or a European citizen who wants to relocate back to Europe, you remain welcome to apply and should inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: CampusEU@imc.com.
