The Product

InsideBusiness is ING's digital banking platform that provides a single point of access to a growing range of wholesale banking products and services around the globe. Accessible anytime and anywhere via web, mobile app and tablet. InsideBusiness allows wholesale customers such as multinational corporations or governments to access a range of products and services such as payments, cash management, financial markets, lending and trade finance.

The Core Values

In ING:

• We take it on and make it happen - we take responsibility and ownership of our work, we ask actively and we speak up.
• We help others to be successful - we collaborate to achieve big things together, we listen to each other and, most importantly, we trust each other.
• We are always a step ahead - we never miss a chance to bring change and we are never afraid to explore and innovate.

We work in a fun and creative environment where we enable everyone to perform at its best. Trust is essential: we respect each other’s opinion and we are not afraid to speak out loud whenever it is required. 

What you'll do

You will be a member of the Platform Experience squad, which plays a central role in the Digital Channels tribe, by developing common tooling for the tribe and facilitating the integration of other applications with the Inside Business platform. The codebase is half Java and half Kotlin, with most of the applications based on Spring Boot. For CI/CD we use Azure DevOps, which we adopted recently and made our life a lot easier. Our team currently has 4 talented engineers based in Amsterdam and abroad. The team works in an Agile fashion and takes end-to-end responsibility of the full lifecycle of its applications - from requirements engineering all the way up to production releases.

Your main role will be that of a back-end engineer; still, you will always have the freedom to experiment with non-backend technologies that interest you. Your main duties will be to:

• Put your best engineering practices at work in order to build and maintain software components that work just as you would expect the banking app from your phone to work.
• Automate everything that can be automated and then enjoy watching how everything works by itself. If automation is not your best part then don't worry, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn about it.
• Make sure you always collaborate and share your knowledge with colleagues, because only together we can make banking better.
• And last but not least, never be afraid to improve and innovate.

How to succeed

• Master of Science in Computer Science or an equivalent field
• 3-5 years of software engineering experience
• Good knowledge of Java 8+ and/or Kotlin. Experience with Spring Boot is a big plus
• Experience with Docker, Bash and/or Python is a nice-to-have
• Good understanding and hands-on experience with DevOps practices such as version control (Git), CI/CD, test automation and monitoring
• Experience with relational databases is a plus
• You keep yourself up to date with the latest trends and like to try everything out and experiment
• You can explain technical problems and their impact to both engineers and business
• Fluent in written and spoken English
