Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Ding is a software engineer with nine years of experience building low-latency trading systems and embedded satellite software, currently focused on production systems at IMC Trading in Melbourne. He holds a Master’s in Electrical Engineering (First Class Honours) from the University of Melbourne and blended academic experience from Monash and ETH Zurich, giving him strong cross-disciplinary footing in both computer science and electrical systems. His background spans C++/Java high-performance execution engines for market microstructure and embedded C++ for cubesat telemetry, RF and antenna control, reflecting a rare combination of finance-grade software engineering and hands-on hardware/telecommunications experience. Comfortable leading small technical teams, Benjamin has repeatedly moved from prototyping to operational code, and brings particular depth in systems where determinism, latency and embedded constraints matter. Outside of trading, he’s driven by interests in space systems and cryptocurrency, indicating a gaze toward distributed systems and emerging tech beyond his day-to-day work.
