Job Description
So, who are we?
IG 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:
This role sits within the Observability team, part of IG’s broader SRE and Platform Engineering function. The team is responsible for the tools, platforms, and standards that enable engineering teams across IG to understand and improve system behaviour at scale. You will report into the Senior Engineering Manager for SRE and Observability and work as an individual contributor,



partnering closely with development squads, platform engineers, and incident response teams.

The Bengaluru team is deeply integrated into IG’s global engineering community, with real ownership and scope to shape how observability is practised across the group.

Key responsibilities:
Platform ownership
- Build, maintain, and evolve IG’s Honeycomb-based observability platform, ensuring it is reliable, scalable, and fit for a complex, globally distributed trading workplace.
- Define platform standards, data models, and integration patterns for telemetry collection, storage, and querying across the estate.

Instrumentation and telemetry
- Drive OpenTelemetry adoption across engineering teams, providing hands-on guidance and reusable instrumentation patterns for services built in Java, Python, and C++.
