The mission

You will be a member of the Global Digitized Card Gateway squad, which plays a pivotal role in the Payments tribe, by developing the platform for enrolling cards in ING’s mobile app.

The platform enables enrollment and lifecycle management for both debit and credit cards, as well as various digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Click to Pay, and others, for ING customers from 7 countries where it operates.

The platform is mostly written in Java, with most of the applications based on Spring Boot. For CI/CD we use Azure DevOps, which has made our life a lot easier since we adopted it. The team currently has 5 talented engineers based in Amsterdam.

We work in Agile, and our engineers take end-to-end responsibility for the full lifecycle of their applications - from requirements engineering all the way up to production releases. The environment is dynamic, and we are constantly seeking innovative, creative solutions and fresh ideas.
