Java 11+ Back-End Software Engineer – Payments Processing SEPA
Our people make all the difference to our success!
In Payments Settlement Services (PSS) SEPA payments processing, we are looking for an experienced backend software development engineer. We would like to hear from you if you are motivated by developing real-time payment systems and you believe that you can live by the agile manifesto by practising agile scrum.
If you think the open position is right for you, we encourage you to apply!
What happened in the past
In 2014, ING suffered from various outages in payments processing and it was repeatedly reported by newspapers and on television. ING management started a task force to mitigate the issues. However, the real solution was born at an ING Hackathon a few months before. In just 24 hours the winning team delivered a prototype that could process payments in real time which was far better than batch processing. The new system was named Real-Time Payments Engine which nowadays processes hundreds of millions of Loan, Savings and Payments transactions per year.
At this moment we are building the platform for Instant Payments and Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Credit Transfer payments for all European ING entities. This includes new connectivity to many account management systems and clearinghouses. Think of real-time and batch processing of high-volume asynchronous, stateless communication, resilience patterns, idempotent application design and much more.
What you’ll do
You will focus predominantly on the extension of the payment routing engine to support multiple European ING entities. This clustered application is written using java 11 and the reactive streams approach.
You will work in the dynamic and challenging environment of Payments Settlement Services (PSS) SEPA in Tribe Payments. We operate according to a Scrum development process with two-week sprints and strongly believe in the DevOps approach to delivering IT solutions.
