Your role in the Team
We are seeking an experienced Senior Full Stack Developer with over 8 years of hands-on experience in development and team handling. The ideal candidate will have a robust understanding of both front-end and back-end technologies, along with a proven track record of leading development teams to success. This role demands a deep proficiency in Java, Spring, Spring Boot, MongoDB, JPA, Kafka, Splunk, GitLab, REST API services, React.js, Node.js, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and Styled Components.
As a Senior Full Stack Developer on our Payments Team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining both frontend and backend components of our payment processing systems.
You will need to optimize payment processing systems, including payment gateways, and transaction handling processes, implementing security best practices to protect sensitive payment information and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements for compliance. You will operate within an agile development framework, leveraging adaptive methodologies and advanced frontend development strategies to meet project deadlines, uphold industry best practices, and identify opportunities for system enhancements.
What you’ll do
- Lead and mentor a team of developers, fostering a collaborative and high-performance environment.
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using a wide range of technologies.
- Architect and implement robust back-end solutions with Java, Spring, and Spring Boot.
- Develop and integrate REST API services to ensure seamless communication between front-end and back-end systems.
- Implement and maintain front-end interfaces using React.js, Node.js, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and Styled Components.
- Ensure data integrity and optimal performance with MongoDB and JPA.
- Manage real-time data processing and streaming with Kafka.
- Monitor and troubleshoot application issues using Splunk.
- Utilize GitLab for version control and CI/CD processes.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
- Ensure code quality, maintainability, and best practices through code reviews and continuous improvement.
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.
What you will need for the role
- Java & Spring/Spring Boot: Extensive experience in building and deploying back-end services.
- MongoDB & JPA: Proficient in database design, management, and optimization.
- Kafka: Skilled in implementing real-time data pipelines and messaging systems.
- Splunk: Expertise in monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting application performance.
- GitLab: Strong knowledge of version control systems and CI/CD pipelines.
- REST API Services: Proficient in designing and consuming RESTful web services.
- Front-End Technologies: Advanced skills in React.js, Node.js, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and Styled Components.
- Team Leadership: Proven experience in leading, mentoring, and managing development teams.
- Problem Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
- 8+ years of experience in full stack development.
- Proven track record of leading successful development projects.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle and agile methodologies.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
How you’ll grow
When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way.
These opportunities are truly endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.
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.
- 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.
- A day off on your birthday.
- Two days’ volunteering leave per year.
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.
So, if you’re keen to connect with our values, and lead the charge on innovation, you know what to do.
