Job Description

Are you ready to shape the future of our business with cutting-edge Generative AI? We’re on the lookout for a visionary Senior Generative AI Engineer who’s eager to build and refine innovative solutions. In this role, you’ll collaborate with teams across marketing, risk, customer services, and quants, leveraging the latest models and techniques to deliver real, measurable impact.

Who are we:

Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we’re a pretty big deal ourselves. We’re a global, FTSE 250-listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around 400,000 people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

About the team:

Our team is producing Generative AI solutions that not only enhance how IG operates but also open new avenues of opportunity across the company. We’re pushing boundaries to deliver more sophisticated, value-driven outcomes and this is sparking excitement and collaboration across different areas of the business.

What you’ll do:

• Develop and refine prompt strategies to harness the capabilities of cutting-edge Generative AI models, ultimately shaping innovative solutions that enhance the client experience.
• Collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders-from marketing and risk to customer services and quants-to translate complex business needs into actionable, high-impact prompt designs.
• Continuously experiment with new models, techniques, and workflows to push the boundaries of what AI can do, driving tangible value and measurable improvements across the organization.
• Embrace an ever-evolving fintech landscape, confidently navigating regulatory nuances and technological advancements, and channelling that curiosity into scalable, secure, and responsible AI-driven products.
• Immerse yourself in our dynamic culture, challenge the status quo, and deliver creative solutions that surpass traditional corporate expectations-together, we’ll raise the bar.

The way we work:

We also think hard about our ways of working as a company. At IG Group, we’ve set out five target behaviours that we expect everyone to strive to achieve in all that we do:

Lead & Inspire : Leading teams in a way that drives trust, alignment, and enthusiasm;

Think Big : We focus on the problems that most move the needle of commercial outcomes;

Champion the client : We always keep the client’s needs front of mind and deliver as much value for them in all that we do;

Deliver at pace : We work to ensure nothing stands in the way of fast delivery of sustainable growth for our business; and

Raise the bar : We raise the bar by taking ownership of outcomes and being accountable for making things better across IG.

What you’ll need:

• Proven expertise in designing, refining, and optimizing prompts for advanced Generative AI models.
• Strong programming proficiency (e.g., Python) coupled with hands-on experience in machine learning frameworks and libraries.
• Deep understanding of model fine-tuning, evaluation metrics, and model deployment strategies in production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and guide junior team members, fostering their technical growth and ensuring best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a proactive and iterative approach to refining solutions.
• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, facilitating productive partnerships with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A track record of handling complex, large-scale data and AI projects while adhering to regulatory and security requirements.
• A commitment to continuous learning, keeping pace with cutting-edge AI research, techniques, and tooling, while knowledge sharing with the team.

The perks:

It really is more than a job. We’ll recognize your talent and make sure that you can still have a life – at work, and outside of it. Networks, committees, awards, sports and social clubs, mentorships, volunteering opportunities, extra time off… the list goes on.

• Competitive salary
• Flexible Benefits Package on top of your salary (12%)
• Private medical cover for you and your family
• Life insurance
• Contribution to gym memberships
• 25 Days holiday, with 1 additional day off to celebrate your Birthday & 2 additional days off a year for voluntary work (28 in total)
• The option to buy or sell holiday days.
• Unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning Platform
• A comprehensive global and local onboarding process
• Employee-led LGBTQ+, Women’s, Black and Parents & Carers networks with an annual budget for organising events & projects that foster an open, diverse and inclusive culture
• Option to participate and create ESG initiatives based on IG Brighter Future Fund
• Enhanced primary (maternity), secondary (paternity), and shared parental pay and leave, as well as a range of support and benefits for parents

Where you’ll work:

We follow a hybrid working model; we reckon it’s the best of both worlds. This model also feeds into our secret ingredients for innovation: diversity, flexibility, and close connection.

Plus, you’ll be welcomed into a diverse and inclusive workforce with a lot of creative energy. Ask our employees what their favourite thing is about working at IG, and you’ll hear an echo of ‘our culture’! That’s because you can come to work as your authentic self. The things that make you, you – like your ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith, age, gender identity/expression or physical capacity – can bring a fresh perspective or new skill to our business.

That’s why we welcome people from various walks of life; and anyone who wants to help us realize our vision and strategy.
