The Mission:

Touchpoint Platform is part of ING’s “Think Forward” strategy to become a truly global bank. It provides a scalable foundation for platform business models and contributes to ING’s successful position in the new banking ecosystem.

The Eventbus is a low latency, high throughput, scalable, distributed and real-time streaming platform, based on Apache Kafka, that enables ING’s ambitions for a real-time, data-driven bank. An important part of the platform is the Stream Marketplace, a governance plan that allows clients to manage Apache Kafka topics via a self-service portal.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Design and develop new functionality for multiple Java applications centered around the Eventbus platform;
• Work with Java 8+ and all its features;
• Work with Spring Boot and other Spring modules;
• Work with a collection of proprietary Spring Boot modules, called Merak;
• Design and develop automated tests (unit, integration, regression, end-to-end or contract tests);
• Do code reviews for your colleagues;
• Support more junior developers in creating better applications;
• Monitor technical debt, review, redesign, discuss and refactor the existing codebase;
• Suggest, discuss and implement improvements to current design, patterns or technologies we use;
• Support our feature engineers by translating functional analysis into technical analysis and developments, together with the parties involved;
• Estimate stories during the planning sessions;
• Fiddle with front-end technologies (web components/polymer) from time to time;
• Lend a hand with operational work. If you’re familiar or would like to get familiar with Jenkins, TFS, Ansible, Docker, Openshift, Azure DevOps, the operations engineers will really like you;
• Together with the team, provide level 2 support for the application using a rotation schedule;
• Follow risk management processes to prove that we are in control of the application on topics such as Security Standards, Capacity Management, Change Management or Incident Management.
