Job Description
So, who are we?
Hello, we're IG Group, an FTSE 250 Fintech that provides cutting-edge mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade Stocks & Shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.
We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We're global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions. We're hungry to move faster, ship better products for our customers and grow our user base. We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently to create better experiences for our customers.
We work in cross-functional teams and are laser-focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.
Your team
We are passionate about maintaining the speed, stability, and performance of our back-end systems, which directly impact the experience of our customer-facing applications. Our architecture is constantly evolving to meet new technical challenges, but always with a focus on practicality, performance, and scalability.
Our engineers have access to a wide range of tools and technologies, allowing them to tackle diverse problems while honing expertise in specific areas. We are looking for self-motivated, engineering-driven professionals who are pragmatic, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and take pride in creating and operating large-scale, highly available, and high-performance systems.
Your role in the Team's Success
As a Principal Infrastructure Engineer, you will play a key role in building and enhancing the infrastructure that powers our fast-growing retail brokerage business while also supporting various other business initiatives.
With a lean team and a management philosophy that values autonomy, you'll have the freedom to shape impactful solutions.
What you'll do
In this role, you'll ensure the reliability and efficiency of the infrastructure by staying ahead of evolving technologies, proactively identifying potential issues, and leading multiple tasks and projects. Our goal is to maintain the most stable, performant Infrastructure possible, to deliver the best experience for our customers.
- Lead the design of scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure (on-premise, cloud, or hybrid).
- Work closely with software engineers, DevOps, and SRE teams to align infrastructure with application needs.
- Define infrastructure standards, best practices, and reference architectures.
- Optimize infrastructure usage for performance and cost-efficiency.
- Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform
- Serve as a technical advisor to leadership, helping with strategic planning and investment decisions
- Mentor junior Infrastructure engineers and provide technical guidance.
We try to take a thoughtful approach to our ways of working as a company. We follow a hybrid working model with 3 days in the office - which we think balances the need to collaborate effectively and connect with each other.
When it comes to how we deliver, there are 5 things we want everyone to do to drive high performance, better learning and career satisfaction:
Lead and Inspire: Drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm
Think Big: Focus on the problems that most impact commercial outcomes
Champion the client: Understand and prioritise the client's needs
Deliver at pace: Push for fast, sustainable growth;
Raise the bar: Take ownership, be accountable and share feedback.
We believe that diversity is vital to success; it fuels creativity, drives innovation and sets us up for global success. We're committed to building teams with a variety of perspectives and skills to help us realise our vision and strategy, that's why we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to join us on this journey.
