IT Chapterlead Customer Data DevOps Engineering in Amsterdam

IT chapterlead

Within the IT-Area Customer Data we are looking for an energetic IT Chapter Lead Engineering with a passion for combining thought and action. You serve as an example and show that you are a true ambassador for the new way of working and the new culture. The customer perspective is your primary driver for working in a squad.

The opportunity

The products and services of Customer Data are essential for the everyday financial needs of our customers. Without access to data of our customers for all customer journeys in the bank, customer cannot see their data, perform a transaction on their (current) account, close a mortgage or get a business loan; all journeys would fail without access to data of our customers. To ensure our customers are in control, we also enable a smooth administration of their personal data (name, address, etc) and the roles and mandates. We do so for businesses and private individuals.

Therefore, one can truly state: the products and services from the Customer Data are at the oxygen of all customer interactions with the bank.

As an IT Chapter Lead, you have earned your stripes as a DevOps Engineer. At least you are a competent engineer. And you are seen and acknowledged by colleagues as a competent engineer. You will become the Chapter Lead within Customer Data and along with the IT Area Lead and other IT Chapter Leads, you determine the working methodology within your area of expertise, allocate specific knowledge/focus areas and set the standards. You have not only a strong drive to constantly keep your own expertise up to speed, you also want to make an active contribution to the further development and advancement of your field. In addition to this, you are enthusiastic about transferring your expertise to others and get a great deal of satisfaction from coaching (both professionally and personally) around 10-15 chapter members to get the most out of oneself.

The team

Your chapter-members are either more Dev or more Ops oriented Engineers, who will be working in different squads. Dev Engineers master all aspects of software development. Ops Engineers are responsible for the deploys (and its preparation) and run of production systems and their complete underlying stack. From both type of engineers it is expected that they work closely together with Business colleagues.

Above all, as IT Chapter Lead, you are a “doer”. You contribute to the work of the squads or in the area to accomplishing the area's mission. You use your seniority to maximize team performance.
