Your job

You will work in your own DevOps block (Scrum Team) on developing and maintaining good quality and future proof IT solutions.
This includes:

•    Educating yourself with the right technical capabilities and the latest innovations
•    Actively participating in knowledge gaining and sharing by joining communities and events. Furthermore, focus on proper knowledge dissemination across the teams, pushing the limits of our technology and focussing on holistic solutions.

Working environment

At ABN AMRO, we strive to be a personal bank in a digital age. That strategy is also brought to life in how we work ourselves. Hence, we offer hybrid working as the new normal. This offers you the flexibility to decide when and where you work most comfortably and effectively. Of course, we offer you the right resources you need in order to set up a good home office. For example, an ergonomic chair, desk and laptop.

The Financial Risk Grid is one of the most vital Grids within ABN AMRO. We build and maintain applications that give Risk Management insight on the bank’s exposure. With those insights provisions are calculated and decision are made on an Exco level. Despite this huge responsibility we aim to be early adaptors when it comes to innovation. We were the first to use Kafka streaming technology with a chain of applications. We were also one of the first to Dockerize our applications in anticipation on a future move to the cloud. And currently the majority of our Grid has made the move to Azure further expanding our options to innovate. As four of our applications play a crucial role within the IFRS9 chain we know the importance of run and  the challenges that come along with it. We highly focus on a DevOps mindset within our Blocks and the Grid. And above all we follow the Agile/Scrum mindset and empower our teams to be self-organizing. Within the Financial Risk Grid you can expect challenging work with creative and innovative people who also love to celebrate success with occasional drinks after work.
