Internal OPS Lease in Amsterdam

Devops Engineer Lease

Where you are working for

We are Lease & Factoring IT. We have a multi-disciplinary team. We have an open, honest and direct way of communicating. We are a multi-national split across borders team. We started a few years ago with a web-application that is used in multiple countries, for multiple channels (employees, customers, vendors) and in multiple languages. It consists of an AngularJS web application that interacts with a Spring boot restful service which delegates work to functional and technical micro services. We are running our micro-services on OpenShift. We are migrating our applications from our existing data center to ING's Private Cloud (IPC) solution, converting our AngularJS application to be web component based, and we are improving our compliance processes.

Part of the team’s job is refining functional business requirements to technical requirements, with international scalability in mind. Refinement is done in vertical slices, over the whole of the application. You will work in within the Lease Channels & Services Team, in which you do refinement, pair programming and code reviews. We are looking for someone to help with migrating our applications to IPC and to help us reach a higher level in the (automation) of the processes around the development work such as risk, compliance.
