Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Your role in the Team 

• Our Machine Learning Engineering team is at the forefront of implementation data-driven solutions that give our clients a competitive edge. We deliver AI/ML products that power critical decision-making across the business and enhance our trading platforms with innovative features. 

What you’ll do 

• Design, implement and support of AI/ML solutions as well as internal tools and systems from time to time stepping up to the role of project lead when required. 

• Supporting other teams as a Subject Matter Expert in the field of AI/ML solutions as well as driving the AI/ML expertise across the company. 

• Support and Maintenance of the existing products. 

Who we’re looking for? 

• A skilled Engineer who can collaborate with researchers or act solely to turn innovative ideas into production-ready solutions 

• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can balance multiple priorities effectively 

• A problem-solver who can optimize existing systems while building new scalable ML infrastructure 

• A team player who can communicate complex technical concepts to stakeholders across the business

• You are impatient about driving change and willing to deliver at pace 

• You are not afraid of the complexity of financial regulation and want to learn & grow your expertise 

• You are a creative problem solver capable of innovating and thinking big 

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, join us in raising the bar for our customers and across the trading industry. 

What you’ll need 

• Proficiency in Python (experience with other languages is a plus)

• MLOps practices knowledge (deployment, versioning, monitoring, etc.) 

How you’ll grow 

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way. 

And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride. 

The perks 

It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.

  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.
