ING is looking for a Platform Architect Touchpoint in our Retail & Banking Technology (R&BT) department with knowledge of global platform architectures. Preferably through experience in a large and internationally oriented company.

ING has thousands of engineers across the globe. The purpose of R&BT is to make their lives easier, as well as to get to a level of interoperability that makes reuse of components the standard. The Touchpoint platform realizes this in the Platform Integrations tribe and Platform Services tribe of R&BT. Touchpoint not only brings supply and demand together in one marketplace but also allows for innovative business solutions to be developed at a global scale.

As a Platform Architect you will:

• Drive the Platform Integration architecture in our Retail & Banking Technology department. Define the future state of the Bank in relation to the integration solutions Touchpoint provides to our engineers and business colleagues across the globe.

• Continuously make trade-offs between target state and existing solutions, being reflected in roadmaps you create. You're seen as the expert and trusted advisor overseeing the existing and total future state of the bank including the (public) cloud infrastructure, risk, security, and non-function requirements.

• Have a background in infrastructure and engineering architectures. Have extensive knowledge and intrinsic curiosity in the underlying technologies, frameworks and platforms.

• Have a deep understanding of reliability patterns

• Describe and advocate architecture for reliability, performance, and scalable solutions.

• Ensure that the architecture roadmaps are implemented according to target state, minimizing technical/tactical debt. We expect you to explain, guide and motivate your colleagues for this, being it the business lead, IT leads and engineers, escalate to management if required.

• Hold a Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent practical experience

• Have 3+ years' experience with platform architectures with demonstrated industry leadership in the fields of architecture and public cloud platforms.

• Can work independently, relying on the network of colleagues that you create around you, while contributing to the overall objectives.

• Align with the architecture community on the target architectures, and have the designs endorsed by Architecture Boards and chief architects.

• Have communication skills, on the level of the CIO's of the business lines and the CIO's of the countries and the Chief Architects of the bank.

• Work with people in or from many countries in Europe and beyond, and therefore you need to be fluent in English. Other languages (German, Spanish, French, Romanian, Polish, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, etc.) are appreciated.

• Be stationed in Amsterdam and are willing to travel when needed.
