So, who are we?

IG is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.3m 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.

Your team 

We are IG UK's Crypto product engineering team, having successfully delivered the company's #1 strategic priority - a fully licensed, FCA-regulated crypto trading platform launched in December 2025. We maintain elite engineering standards through cloud-native AWS architecture, comprehensive observability, and a culture of end-to-end ownership where engineers drive product outcomes, not just technical deliverables.

Your role in the Team’s Success 

Your primary responsibility will be to serve as the technical authority within your domain – the engineer that others turn to when facing their most complex challenges. You'll tackle complicated problems and features that require advanced technical expertise, with little to no supervision. You won't just write code – you'll produce it in challenging timescales while maintaining the highest quality bar. You'll leverage AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow – we expect engineers to actively embrace AI to multiply their impact. 

We believe in "you build it, you run it, you love it" – and as a Technical Specialist, you'll nurture that mindset across the entire team. 

What you'll do 

• Own end-to-end delivery of technically complex features – from design through deployment – taking accountability for performance, reliability, and engineering quality 

• Lead the implementation of architectural designs within your team, working closely with architects to translate vision into production-ready code that actually works at scale  

• Proactively discover new technologies and engineering practices that could benefit the team – and champion their adoption where they'll make a real difference  

• Remedy gaps in technical knowledge or engineering best practices within your team – raising the bar across all aspects of software engineering  

• Mentor team members and actively share expertise – you're sought out by others for guidance on all aspects of software engineering 

• Embrace the challenge of working on technologies and codebases that you're unfamiliar with – you see new challenges as opportunities to grow 

• Work closely with the engineering manager to drive technical excellence and continuously improve engineering standards across the team 

Who we're are looking for? 

• Solid software engineering experience with a proven track record of delivering complex technical solutions 

• Deep expertise in your core technology stack – you don't just use the tools, you understand them deeply. Expertise in Java is essential.

• Battle-tested experience building and operating high-performance, mission-critical systems – you've debugged production issues at 3am and designed solutions so they never happen again 

• Experience with AI-assisted development tools is expected – we're looking for engineers who see AI as a force multiplier, not a threat 

• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop other engineers – you get genuine satisfaction from helping others grow and raising the technical bar 

• Solid backend architecture chops: distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, and API design aren't buzzwords to you – they're daily tools 

What you'll need for this role 

• An ownership mindset that borders on obsessive – you treat every system like you built it with your own money  

• An AI-positive mindset – you see AI tools as amplifiers of engineering capability, not replacements, and you're excited to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development  

• Strong commitment to engineering excellence: TDD, pairing, code reviews, and continuous improvement are how you operate, not boxes you tick  

• Intellectual curiosity that drives you to embrace unfamiliar technologies and codebases – you see new challenges as opportunities, not obstacles  

• Strong English-language communication skills and the ability to work effectively in globally distributed, cross-functional teams  

• A keen interest in ongoing learning, both business and technical – you'll gain deep understanding of IG's trading products and financial markets  

• Familiarity with financial services or trading platforms is highly desirable but not essential 

• Willingness to participate in on-call rotation – because you build it, you run it, you love it  

• This is a hybrid position (3 days onsite, 2 days remote work) which requires supporting on an on-call rota

How we work

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 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.
