As a leading destination for managing investment risk, CME Group’s derivatives marketplace is a testament to precision software engineering. The company manages 24 billion events every day, each processed in around 100 microseconds. To support that level of activity, CME Group depends on a technology organization that is nimble, possesses a robust skill set, and is open-minded in its approach to solving tough business problems.
Flexibility is crucial because the 180-year-old firm has seen its share of game-changing technology and business trends come and go. That perspective has shaped an IT hiring strategy focused on recruiting and developing people who are able to adapt to whatever tool works best for the job.
“CME Group is a place where clients come to manage risk in every investable asset class, and we look for engineers capable of solving problems with that mission,” says Sunil Cutinho, CIO at CME Group, which ranked No. 6 among midsize companies on Computerworld’s 2026 Best Places to Work in IT survey and No. 1 in the Benefits & Compensation category. “CME Group has outlasted many technologies and will outlast many more to come. What’s important is solving business problems and using the best available tools to do so.”
