So, who are we?

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.4m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof. We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated. What that means for the people who work here is real: genuinely complex problems to solve, the technology and resources to tackle them properly, and the kind of scope that's rare in established businesses.

The bar is high – bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.

Join us at IG – the future gets built here.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the data pipelines and platform capabilities that power IG’s analytics, compliance, and AI ambitions. Working within a squad led by the Data Engineering Team Lead, you will be a key technical contributor to IG’s GCP consolidation programme — tackling complex ingestion, transformation, and reliability challenges with a high standard of craft. You will also play a meaningful role in raising the bar for the wider team: mentoring junior engineers, championing data quality, and helping to define how the squad builds and operates at scale.

Compensation details will be shared by the recruiter during the first interview.

IG’s Data function is a central capability serving both central and divisional business lines across the entire IG estate. The Data Engineering team is responsible for the platforms that underpin analytics, reporting, compliance, and client-facing data products, and that will increasingly power AI and machine-learning use cases across the firm.

The current data landscape reflects IG’s growth: a combination of GCP-native capabilities, on-premises systems, and a legacy AWS data platform. The strategic direction — endorsed by the CDO and Executive — is clear: consolidate onto GCP, raise the bar on data quality, and enable self-service access to trusted data for teams across the business.
