Data Solutions Architect

About the role

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. 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.

What you'll do

• Own the solution architecture and high-level design for Post Trade regulatory reporting data — from trade and lifecycle event capture on the enterprise message bus
• Design and deliver solution architecture for assigned domains on the GCP lakehouse — from event ingestion off Kafka, through Bronze/Silver/Gold
• Dimensional and canonical modelling, conformed dimensions, slowly changing dimensions, grain determination

• Own schema contracts in practice
