Solution engineer - risk domain

ABN Amro Clearing is a global top player in her domain. At ABN Amro Clearing we aspire to lead the way to safe and transparent markets. We act as an intermediary between clients and the exchanges they trade on. We become the buyer to the seller and the seller to the buyer, taking over the risk to reconcile orders between the parties in the transaction. We do so for professional traders, investment managers and corporates. We understand them and strive to deliver reliable, high-quality service across the globe. Working at ABN Amro Clearing means thriving in an international, professional yet informal, fast-paced environment. As our Risk services are of strategic importance and growing, we want to reshape our Risk landscape into independent, future-proof risk services. The transformation program we run is of strategic importance and highly visible in the organization. You will play a vital role in shaping and executing this strategic vision for Risk management. 

Thanks to our global network with offices in eleven countries and proximity to all major exchanges, you will serve the best trading firms on four continents. You work closely with stakeholders in APAC, Europe, and the USA. 
Are you fit to further shape our globally spanning and challengingly complex application & data landscape?

As a Solution Engineer within ABN Amro Clearing, you play a crucial role in moving our business forward. You will have responsibility for adherence and the design of IT solutions. You will focus on the optimal use of our IT landscape and steer our change in the direction of our defined future state architecture. Today, but also in the future, ABN Amro Clearing wants to use modern technologies.

The function of IT Solution Engineer is best described as:

1. Dealing with Complexity. ABN Amro Clearing is a bank in itself. As an IT Solution Engineer, you can balance short-term delivery of IT solutions against delivery of long-term solutions that fit within strategy and architecture.
2. Deliver. Our business lines are demanding. You can discuss the opportunities and constraints related to business requests. Business requirements are key but fit within the application of the IT architecture strategy is your responsibility and is governed by you.
3. Technology. Our IT environment provides lots of opportunities to work on tactical and strategic levels related to the impact of IT-events such as DevOps, Cloud and Streaming.

It is your job to oversee our landscape. But also, to inspire, involve and activate the development teams with each and every change. You investigate, tune, and verify standards and strategic views with internal and external global stakeholders (e.g. Product owners, business managers, IT managers, external authorities). You support decision making by creating, providing, and communicating clear deliverables. You develop and maintain solutions architectures in line with global target architecture, global policies, security standards and best practices covering all aspects from business service down to related information technology (the full stack) in order to contribute to and increase the reliability, security, flexibility, quality, and cost efficiency of the global organization.

• Proven experience (+4 years)  in the IT application solution architecture domain, within a comparably complex environment (high stakes, in- & external stakeholders, complex IT environment, different time zones and diverse cultures).
• Knowledge of clearing and risk modelling is considered a plus.
• Knowledge and experience in one or more of below areas is considered a plus:

• Knowledge and experience in architecture implementations and related methods and tools, such as TOGAF and Archimate.
• You have a unique combination of development experience with a passion for technology and have a strong interest in working in the global capital markets. Your technology is up to date, so CI/CD, Cloud and Micro-services are nothing new to you. At the same time, you realize that our systems need to be up and running, the markets, our customers and our users depend on us. 

We offer you a job in an environment that is IT minded, and where IT plays a decisive role in success. You will be part of the global architecture team, and work in an agile environment. You will be given plenty scope to contribute to value creation on a global level and with high impact.
