EU Campus - Aarhus Hackahton IMCity

Join IMC for an exclusive hackathon on November 11th at our office, where 20 selected students will get hands-on experience trading Aarhus-style in a fast-paced, high-energy environment designed by traders and engineers who do this for a living. This is your chance to see what it's really like to build software that powers financial markets — and to show us what you've got. Who should apply We're looking for students who love to code and are curious about applying that skill to the world of trading and financial markets. Whether you're aiming for a career as a software engineer or want to experience life at a top trading firm, this event is for you. What you'll do Tackle a trading-inspired coding challenge, guided by IMC engineers and traders, and compete for prizes — with the added bonus of a fast-tracked interview process for our 2027 Graduate Software Engineer or Working Student roles.
