We are looking for DEV engineer who wants to understand the payment processing chain and helps to prevent data breaches

Your new job! Over the past three years we decided that it was necessary to improve the security and insights in the complete payment chain. After some brainstorming the real solution was born during a hackaton where we created a solution through which it is possible to track payments through all systems. After this hackaton the Global Monitoring Track & Trace DevOps team was created. Next to tracking payments GMTT also ensures that the payment is not changed during processing, alerts are sent if something goes wrong. The real cherry on the cake however is the predictive analytics which we are developing, to ensure we can prevent incidents before they even occur. A part of your job will also be to migrate our applications towards the ING Private cloud and ensure our OCD remains green. Because we monitor so many systems you get the opportunity to understand the application landscape and develop a more holistic view on payment processing. With your communication-skills you will be interacting with many teams around us to understand their exact needs.

We currently process 30 million events per day. After three years and an increasing number of consumers in both the wholesale and retail domain it is now time to mature the application and become much more configurable and scalable. This requires sophisticated engineering extensions based on the Touch Point Architecture. Technically this is about Java, Kafka, Flink, Linux, Elastic, Zookeeper and Ansible. Functionally, this is about real-time insights, detecting data breaches, alerting our consumers in case of incidents and predictive analytics to ensure we and our consumers continuously improve. In this process we are looking for an enthusiastic OPS engineer, which will bring you the following benefits: 1. Enjoy being part of a high performing and extremely successful and valued team. 2. Learn every day from our top senior engineers. 3. Build complex applications instead of regular web applications. 4. Add payments knowledge to your CV. 5. Become proud and praised by stakeholders and colleagues.
