ServiceNow Developer

Job Title

ServiceNow Engineer

Job Description

So who are we?

Hello, we’re IG Group. We are a publicly-traded FTSE250 FinTech company who run mobile, web and desktop platforms that help our clients trade stocks & shares, leveraged products, Futures & Options and Crypto.

We are ambitious. Over 340,000 people already use our platforms. We’re global with offices in 18 countries and products in 16 regions. We’re hungry to move faster, ship better product for our customers and grow our user base. We believe in high autonomy, and we want people who are looking to do things differently in order to create better experiences for our customers.

We work in cross-functional teams and are laser focused on increasing the number of active clients we serve to drive sustainable growth.

Your role in the ServiceNow Team

As a member of the ServiceNow Team, you will play a pivotal role in supporting, developing and maintaining core applications like ITSM (IT Service Management), HRSD (HR Service Delivery) & ITOM / Discovery modules. The role will involve enhancing the platform's functionality with existing processes and addressing any operational challenges. The individual will also lead efforts to integrate the platform with tools like MS Teams and explore new modules to further optimize workflows and improve service delivery across the organization.

In addition to providing technical expertise, the team member will mentor junior members of the team by sharing their knowledge and guiding them in the development and maintenance of these modules while actively identifying opportunities to implement best practices and contribute to continuous improvement efforts, ensuring the platform is aligned with evolving business needs.

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.
