Job Title
Senior Platform Engineer - CDN & Akamai
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 role in the Team
We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer with deep Akamai expertise to own IG's edge delivery estate and change how it's run.
Today, much of our Akamai configuration is managed by hand through Control Center. Your mandate is to move it into code: Terraform modules, version-controlled rule trees,



and GitLab pipelines with the automated checks and guardrails that let application teams request and ship their own edge changes safely. You'll be the expert other engineers come to, and the person who steadily reduces how often they need to.
The Platform Team owns the infrastructure and automation platform underpinning IG's global trading operations – cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, GitLab CI/CD, and self-service capabilities that help development teams move faster with greater confidence. Edge delivery sits at the very front of that stack: every customer session, trade, and API call reaches IG through it, across every region we operate in and under latency-sensitive conditions.
You'll work hands-on with Property Manager and Akamai's rule tree model, Edge DNS and traffic management, edge security controls, and certificate lifecycle – from routine property changes through to incident diagnosis and long-term modernisation of the estate. If you care about content delivery
