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\nThe Managed File Transfer team sits within the Data Office and is responsible for delivering enterprise-wide managed file transfer services across IG Group. The team maintains the GoAnywhere platform, providing 24/7 support for business-critical file transfers that enable secure data exchange between internal systems, external partners, and regulatory bodies across our global operations.\nYour role in the Team’s Success\nThis role exists to keep IG’s business-critical file transfer services running securely and reliably across the group. As MFT Engineer II, you’ll be a senior technical contributor to the GoAnywhere platform, owning complex workflow design and troubleshooting, driving platform improvements, and acting as an escalation point for the wider team while mentoring more junior engineers.\nWhat you’ll do\nAbility to solve complex GoAnywhere MFT incidents, driving root cause analysis and permanent fixes for recurring or high-impact issues.\nLead the design, build, and review of file transfer workflows and integrations, ensuring solutions meet performance, security, and scalability requirements.\nOwn platform health end-to-end: capacity planning, upgrade and patching strategy, high-availability configuration, and disaster recovery testing for the GoAnywhere estate.\nDefine and evolve MFT standards, runbooks, and best practices, and hold application teams and vendors accountable to them.\nManage the full lifecycle of security configurations - PGP/GPG keys, SSH keys, SSL/TLS certificates, and access controls - including audits and remediation for compliance frameworks (e.g. PwC/SOX-style controls).\nPartner directly with application teams, architects, and external vendors (e.g. HANDD, Fortra) to design efficient, resilient file transfer solutions and to negotiate licensing, support, and upgrade paths.\nContribute to and improve monitoring and observability (e.g. CheckMK, Grafana, Power BI) to enable proactive issue detection rather than reactive firefighting.\nProvide 24/7 operational support for the GoAnywhere platform as a senior responder, including leading major incident calls and post-incident reviews.\nAutomate recurring operational tasks and build tooling to reduce manual effort across the team\nWhat you’ll need for this role\n4-7 years’ hands-on experience with GoAnywhere MFT or a similar enterprise managed file transfer solution (e.g. IBM Sterling, MOVEit, Axway), including at least 1-2 years in a senior or lead technical capacity.\nDeep technical expertise in file transfer protocols (FTP, SFTP, FTPS, AS2, HTTP/HTTPS), security technologies (PGP/GPG encryption, SSH keys, SSL/TLS), and data formats (XML, JSON).\nProven cross-platform administration expertise across Unix/Linux environments, including advanced shell scripting, command-line proficiency, and exposure to Windows environments.\nStrong scripting and automation capability using Python, Shell (bash/ksh), or PowerShell, with a track record of building tools or automations that materially improved operational efficiency.\nDemonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve complex, ambiguous production issues under pressure, including deep-dive analysis of logs, memory, and connection-level behaviour.\nExperience managing vendor relationships (licensing, support escalations, upgrade planning) with MFT platform vendors or resellers.\nExcellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience presenting technical status and risk to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. management, audit, compliance).\nProven ability to provide technical mentorship and knowledge transfer to junior (MFT Engineer I) team members, including reviewing their work and supporting their development.\nDesirable\nExperience working in a fintech, financial services, or similarly regulated industry.\nExperience working in a global, follow-the-sun operational support model.\nExposure to cloud platforms (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure) and hybrid on-prem/cloud MFT connectivity.\nFamiliarity with compliance/audit processes (e.g. PwC, SOX) as they relate to MFT security controls.\nThe perks\nYour growth fuels our success! Thrive with tailored development programs, mentoring opportunities with leaders, and clear career progression. Expand your network through committees, sports and social clubs. Enjoy extra time off for volunteering and community work.\nMatched giving for your fundraising activity\nFlexible working hours and work-from-home opportunities\nPerformance-related bonuses\nInsurance and medical plans\nCareer-focused technical and leadership training in-class and online, incl. unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning platform\nContribution to gym memberships and more\nFree Lunch/Snacks\nA day off on your birthday\nTwo days’ volunteering leave per year.\nNumber of openings\n1","description_format":"text","description_chars":5436,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Gym membership"],"hiring_locations":[],"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":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.891,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:10","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-mft-engineer-ii","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ig-mft-engineer-ii.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T16:11:26Z","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":24608,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"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-mft-engineer-ii"},{"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-mft-engineer-ii"},{"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-mft-engineer-ii"},{"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-mft-engineer-ii\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fig-mft-engineer-ii"}]}
