Your role in the Team

Your task will be to run a project generating risk reports important for the entire IG. The tool is currently under consideration for a complete renovation. The main scope of responsibilities is the implementation of new functionalities, adding new reports, writing tests, pipeline analysis and active participation in the team's scrum life.

Technologies used: Python, pandas, numpy, Kafka, Airflow, Rest, GCP, bash. Candidates do not need to have big data knowledge or a lot of cloud experience - it's important that you are willing to expand your skills!

Who we’re looking for?

You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporate that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.
