Staff Engineer - Brokerage Services

Job Title Staff Engineer - Brokerage Services Job Description 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.

Your team We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to push hard on AI across Brokerage Services engineering: AI-assisted coding, testing and deployments, defect triage and observability, and the internal tooling that connects our AI tools safely to Jira, GitLab, and our CI/CD pipeline. This is a hands-on, cross-team role. You’ll build tooling yourself, and you’ll raise the bar for how aggressively every team in the group adopts it.

Your role in the Team’s Success This role suits experienced engineers with a deep grounding in software engineering practice: test-driven development, pair programming, and full ownership of systems from design through to production support, in a mature Java or a comparable backend service ecosystem at scale. You should be someone other engineers already come to for technical judgement. We want people who write their own tests, review their own designs, and catch their own defects, and who use AI to extend that excellent practice further and faster.
