We enjoy a flexible way of working and a highly collaborative environment, where fair and constructive feedback is encouraged.

For us, impact isn't a perk. It's the driver of our work.

We are guided and rewarded by a shared desire to make the world a better place, one innovative solution at a time. Our colleagues make it their job to do impactful things and they love doing it in good company. Do you?

The Mission

Currently, Wholesale Banking Data Lake is on the verge of transitioning from a traditional data warehousing landscape to a big data platform that processes millions of files containing TBs of data with all the necessary (security) controls, monitoring and automation in place that make the solution scalable and in line with banking minimum standards. Within our environment, key critical processes run daily and support strategic ING bank wide initiatives which are used worldwide ranging from Russia to The United States to Australia and across Europe.

To assist us in taking the next step in our data platform journey, we are looking for colleagues that have the following key characteristics:

Extensive and proven technical background in data warehousing with a good understanding of its core elements such as data ingestion, data unification/modeling and data consumption as well interest in elements related to data governance such as data quality, data lineage and metadata management.

The ability to identify structural and preferably automated solutions to common technical challenges by taking the lead in drafting designs, refining the workload and guiding the implementation towards production together with an agile squad of DevOps engineers with a balance of junior, middle and senior profiles.

The ability and the ambition to learn new (open source) tools and technologies that will be part of our new platform such as Hive, Spark, HDFS and NiFi in order to assist with the gradual but steady migration of flows from the current data warehousing stack towards the new big data platform as well as assisting with new functionality such as streaming data ingestion, spark job execution and open metadata (Egeria) standards.
