Graduate Program overview

IT or Algorithmic Trading

You can choose between two tracks: IT or Algorithmic Trading. We are committed to your development, so no matter the track you apply for, we aim to create a personalized program that fits you, your competencies, and your interests. The overall goal is to support your development and speed up your understanding of our business model, and that is why your rotations will go across the organization and not just within the track description.

What to expect

Our graduate program runs for 18 months. During these 18 months, you will have three rotations across our business. You are hired in a full-time position, where most of your time will be in the teams working on value-adding projects alongside some of the best minds in our industry. 

Below you can see what a program can look like. 

You will be challenged and take responsibility from day one. We ensure that valuable projects and initiatives are lined up for each rotation – all designed to support and speed up your development. We invest heavily in your professional and personal growth during the program - look forward to 1:1 coaching sessions and different courses. 

You will have plenty of time to get on-the-job training, and we have ensured there is dedicated time for everything else, such as social activities to get to know your colleagues.

IT track

As a graduate of our IT track, you can expect to fast-track your competencies within all areas of the IT discipline. Going from back-end to front-end solutions, you will work closely with stakeholders in the business. You could participate in projects ranging from developing new code to collecting data for our trading tools. You will get a deep understanding of manual trading and the markets we operate in and be a key player in strengthening the bridge between IT and the rest of our organization.

Your background can be everything from Computer science to Engineering, but we know many ways lead to IT, and the most important factor is your interest and natural talent for programming. You should have knowledge of either F#, C#, Functional Programming, JavaScript, Node.js, or SQL, as those will be the foundation for your first rotation.

After 18 months as a graduate, you could end up in a position as either Business Intelligence Specialist, Software Developer, or maybe Portfolio/ Project Manager.

Algorithmic Trading track

As part of the Algorithmic Trading track, you will strengthen your quantitative and analytical skills and gain cross-functional knowledge about our markets. You could participate in projects ranging from fundamental data analysis to developing and implementing quantitative models. You will get a deep understanding of manual trading strategies and how the energy markets interplay.

Your background could be in economics, statistics, mathematics, or engineering. The specific branch of studies does not matter, but you must have at least one coding language you feel comfortable in, such as Python or R. An interest in trading will be a great starting point for your journey as a Graduate.

After 18 months of being a graduate, you might end up in a position as Trading Analyst, Quantitative Trader, or Data Scientist.

Meet our graduates

I really like the level of autonomy that is present here from day one. Even though you're new, you are given the freedom to do what you think is best in the projects, you're are working on. 

- Jesper Pedersen, Graduate - Algorithmic Trading

Moving to a new country can be very time consuming, but the flexibility at InCommodities allowed me to both do my work and have the time I needed to find a new apartment and get settled. That really helped me and made the transition a lot easier. 

- Lourenço Vasconcelos, Graduate - IT

Some might say that you should specialize from the start and find a classical position. But for me, doing the graduate program, I allow myself to work in different teams, making me more certain in my choice in the future about where I want to specialize.
