Senior Platform Enablement Engineer

Role overview

Senior Platform Enablement Engineer at IG Infotech India

We didn't pivot to innovation; it's how we've always operated.

So, who are we?

IG Group is a FTSE 100 fintech operating across five continents, serving over 1.4m customers and handling billions of dollars in transactions – built on scale, trust, and proof.

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.

Responsibilities

• Provide architectural design advice and guidance rooted in established patterns, anti-patterns, and organisational standards.
• Lead time-boxed enablement engagements with clear scope, milestones, and a defined handover.
• Contribute to and evolve a library of reusable Infrastructure-as-Code modules, CI/CD pipeline templates, and golden paths.
• Define and promote engineering standards that ensure consistency, quality, and security across teams.
• Provide short, structured hyper care support after handover to ensure a clean transition to independence.
• Coach and mentor engineers during engagements — teach the underlying pattern, not just the fix.
• Maintain living documentation (runbooks, onboarding guides, decision logs) as the team's single source of truth.
• Analyse engagement patterns and support data to proactively identify recurring problems and platform gaps.
• Represent the engineering community's feedback back to platform teams, distinguishing "team needs training" from "platform needs fixing."
• What you’ll need for this role
• 8–12 years in infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineering roles, with demonstrated architectural or technical leadership.
• Hands-on, working knowledge across most of the following, with genuine willingness to pick up any gaps quickly:
• Cloud infrastructure: AWS
• CI/CD pipelines (GitLab or equivalent)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent) — applied to both cloud and on-prem targets
• Observability tooling (e.g. Open Telemetry, Honeycomb, CloudWatch)
• ITSM/workflow tooling (e.g. ServiceNow, Jira) for engagement and request tracking
• Strong communication skills — able to explain trade-offs to engineers and summarise outcomes for leadership.
• Experience coaching or mentoring other engineers, and comfort operating as an advisor rather than a builder.
• A documentation-first habit — you write things down as you go, not after the fact.

Preferred qualifications and skills

• Experience with API gateway technologies (e.g. Kong)
• Familiarity with Internal Developer Portal
• On-prem infrastructure: VM provisioning and lifecycle management, workload orchestration (e.g. Nomad), secrets management (e.g. Vault), artifact management (e.g. Artifactory).
• The Perks
• Your 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.
• Matched giving for your fundraising activity
• Flexible working hours and work-from-home opportunities
• Performance-related bonuses
• Insurance and medical plans
• Career-focused technical and leadership training in-class and online, incl. unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning platform
• Contribution to gym memberships and more
• Free Lunch/Snacks
• A day off on your birthday
• Two days’ volunteering leave per year.
• Number of openings
• 1

Employment details

About the employer

• Platform Enablement helps engineering teams adopt cloud platform capabilities confidently and independently.
• We're an advisory and acceleration function — we provide guidance, patterns, and reusable tooling, not approvals, and not ongoing operational support.
• Success is measured by what teams can do without us, not by how many tickets we close.
• Your role in the Team’s Success
• We're looking for a senior engineer who can lead enablement engagements end-to-end — from initial architectural advice through to a team operating fully independently.
• You'll work directly with engineering teams at varying levels of platform maturity, translate patterns and anti-patterns into practical guidance, and hold the line on engineering standards across the organisation.
• This is a hands-on technical role with real influence: you'll shape how teams build, not just what they build.
