Job Title
Platform Enablement Engineer
Job Description
So, who are we?
IG Group 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
Platform Enablement helps engineering teams adopt cloud platform capabilities confidently and independently. We're an advisory and acceleration function — we provide guidance, patterns, and reusable tooling, not approvals, and not ongoing operational support. Success is measured by what teams can do without us, not by how many tickets we close.
Your role in the Team’s Success
We're looking for an engineer who can run enablement engagements with growing independence — taking architectural guidance from senior team members and applying it directly with engineering teams. You'll work hands-on across cloud infrastructure, contribute to reusable tooling, and build toward owning smaller engagements end-to-end.
What You’ll Do
- Provide architectural guidance on well-established patterns, under the direction of a senior engineer for anything outside your depth.
- Run time-boxed enablement engagements of moderate complexity, with clear scope and a defined handover.
- Contribute to and maintain a library of reusable Infrastructure-as-Code modules and CI/CD pipeline templates.
- Help define and apply engineering standards consistently across engagements.
- Provide short, structured hyper care support after handover.
- Maintain clear documentation (runbooks, onboarding guides, decision logs) as you go.
- Help track engagement and support data to spot recurring issues, and flag them upward.
- Surface early signals of platform friction to senior engineers for escalation.
What You’ll Need For This Role
- 4–6 years in infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineering roles.
- Solid, hands-on working knowledge across most of the following:
- Cloud infrastructure: AWS
- CI/CD pipelines (GitLab or equivalent)
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent)
- Observability tooling (e.g. Open Telemetry, Honeycomb, CloudWatch)
- ITSM/workflow tooling (e.g. ServiceNow, Jira) for engagement and request tracking
- Clear written and verbal communication — able to document decisions and explain trade-offs to engineering teams.
- Comfort taking direction from senior engineers while building toward independent ownership.
- A documentation-first habit — you write things down as you go, not after the fact.
Nice To Have
- Experience with API gateway technologies (e.g. Kong)
- Familiarity with Internal Developer Portal concepts
- On-prem infrastructure: VM provisioning and lifecycle management, workload orchestration (e.g. Nomad), secrets management (e.g. Vault), artifact management (e.g. Artifactory)
