DevOps Engineer - Wholesale Banking

Tech Lending

ING is looking for an experienced Ops Engineer to help build on our transformation ambition for

the Wholesale Lending Business.

ING’s goal is to enable people to “do their thing” and empower them to stay a step ahead in life

and business. We are one of the largest banks in Europe and we continuously evolve to become

one of the most innovative companies in the banking sector.

Within Tribe Lending we have set ourselves on a mission to become fully digitized and

data led so as to enhance the experience of our Clients and our employees. Lending is the

core of ING’s lifeline. Hence also the driver in ING’s transformation journey.

In our urge to make complex Lending simple, reusing data, following the patterns it provides

and predicting the investments we make in our clients is key. We are tackling fundamental, high

impact solutions in the financial services industry. Our Tribe consists of roughly 120

professionals and we are growing to accelerate this transformation journey. We are talking of

making a fresh start, being creative, challenging the status quo and defer decisions to data and

algorithms. We are talking of game changers. So if this sounds exciting and nerve wrecking at

the same time, read on!

What is the role we hiring for?

As an experienced Ops Engineer, you will be responsible for maintaining and improving the IB

Lending Portal application. This new application is a crucial part of our mission to become fully

digitized and to enhance the experience of our Lending Clients. In the near future, the

functionality of this application will be expanded step by step. It is therefore very important that

the application meets all requirements from an SRE perspective.

The application is built according to the latest standards within ING; the front-end is hosted on

the front-end server, the back-end is containerized and consists of TPA APIs hosted on the ICHP

platform.

You will be configuring and maintaining the application in a professional and controlled way

using SRE principles, making sure the application is always available, stable, secure and

compliant. The application has various connections with other systems, and touches several

business processes, so you are required to look beyond your own scope and collaborate closely

with other teams in the organization.

You ensure that the application runs smoothly without any production disruptions. When issues

do arise, you resolve them quickly and prevent them from happening again by implementing

structural and robust solutions.

We are looking for an engineer who is embracing the responsibility for the implementation,

configuration and maintenance of this important application, and enjoys working in a cross

border distributed team in an agile environment.

Key Skills Required:

• You are familiar with SRE concepts.

• You have working knowledge of monitoring & alerting, using Prometheus, Grafana, IAT and

RTK2.

• You have a clear understanding of security, firewalls, API gateways, PKI certificates and

certificate management.

• You have working knowledge on Azure DevOps (Azure repos,

creation/execution/maintenance of Azure YAML based pipelines, Azure KeyVaults etc).

• You have a background of working agile, preferably using Azure DevOps.

• You have experience with containerized (ICHP hosted) applications, using Docker,

Kubernetes.

• You have experience with RedHat Openshift.

• You have an intrinsic drive for innovation and automation.

• You have working experience with ITIL processes (change-, incident- and problem

management), and relevant tooling.

• Excellent communication skills and a great team player.

• You have a great interest in experimenting with new technologies and tools and able to

implement those.

Nice to have skills :

• Basic knowledge of API’s / microservices (preferably using the ING Merak framework).

• Experience with Test Automation.

• Scripting (Bash, Python, and similar) skills.

• Working knowledge or understanding of ITRMP Controls (RISK management).

• Experience on ING Private Cloud (IPC).

• Working knowledge on writing Ansible playbooks.

Who should apply?

At ING, we promote diversity not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it’s essential

for delivering on our strategy. To stay a step ahead we need teams with a healthy mix of

contrasting perspectives and backgrounds as they are more creative, faster to adapt and more

inventive with their solutions. We strive to hire a workforce as diverse as the communities in

which we operate, and we will consider every application, regardless of race, religion, color,

national origin, sex, disability, or age.

If you are an experienced Ops Engineer with a proven track record of managing applications in a

containerized environment, who loves to automate and maintain end to end ecosystems, we

would love to hear from you!
