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.\nThe bar is high - bring a curious and forward-thinking mindset and we'll give you the platform to define what comes next.\nJoin us at IG - the future gets built here.\nYour team\nIG’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.\nThe current data landscape reflects IG’s growth: a combination of GCP-native capabilities, onpremises 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.\nYour role in the Team’s Success\nAs a Data Engineer, 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.\nWhat you’ll do:\nDesign and build robust batch and real-time data pipelines on GCP, including Kafka-based event streams, BigQuery transformations, and Airflow-orchestrated workflows, as part of the GCP consolidation and Medallion architecture build-out \nOwn data quality within your delivery area: define and implement data contracts, quality checks, and observability instrumentation so that pipeline health is visible and SLAs are met \nDevelop and maintain in-house connectors and third-party native integrations that form part of IG’s ingestion estate, ensuring resilience, monitoring, and long-term maintainability \nContribute to engineering standards and best practices across the squad - including code review, dbt modelling patterns, CI/CD pipeline hygiene, and change control for shared datasets \nSupport feature engineering and model data pipelines for Data Science, and help lay the foundations for AI-ready data - including lineage, reproducibility, and freshness guarantees for ML workloads \nWhat you’ll need for this role:\nProven hands-on experience building and operating production-grade data pipelines on GCP - including BigQuery, Cloud Composer/Airflow, GCS, and Cloud Run - with strong SQL and Python skills \nSolid experience with Apache Kafka or equivalent streaming technologies, including designing event-driven ingestion patterns and troubleshooting real-time data flows under operational conditions \nFamiliarity with modern transformation tooling, particularly dbt, and an appreciation of Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) architecture patterns and how they support self-service analytics \nA quality-first mindset: experience implementing data contracts, lineage tracking, observability tooling, and pipeline SLO monitoring in a production environment \nComfortable working in a regulated financial services environment, with an understanding of data governance requirements (lineage, access control, audit trails) and the discipline to operate within change control processes \nThe Perks\nIt really is more than a job. We think like a start-up, but we deliver like a FTSE 100 - so the bar is high, and we won't pretend otherwise.\nWe work hybrid, which means three days in the office. We’ll recognise 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.\nCompetitive salary & benefits plan \nLife Insurance\nMy Benefit Platform\nMedical Insurance with Medicover\n1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday \n2 additional days off a year for voluntary work \nShare Plans for Employees \nFree lunch at the office (ones per week)\nEmployee Assistance Program \nWe work in hybrid working model \nNumber of openings\n1","description_format":"text","description_chars":4849,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work","Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Online Brokerage & Trading Platforms","Forex & CFD Brokers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T23:55:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.801,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":12,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:32","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-data-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-data-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T03:31:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5497,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":38407},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=38407"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fig-data-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fig-data-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fig-data-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ig-data-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fig-data-engineer"}]}
