Discover ING Hubs Romania

The Mission

You will work in the dynamic and challenging environment of Payment. We operate according to a Scrum development process with two-week sprints and strongly believe in the DevOps approach to delivering IT solutions. We strive to have the high-quality mission-critical software delivered in time using iterative development with regular milestone reviews with stakeholders following the ING’s agile way of working to reduce surprises in what we build.

The Order Manager As A Platform is responsible for:

• Building internal and external OMaaP APIs
• Creating orders for execution and routing them to the payment engine
• Warehousing orders until they are executed
• Tracking the status during the entire life-cycle of an order
• Reporting the status of an order through direct and assisted channels

The future of the OMaaP is really interesting and contains many challenges and opportunities. For example, processing instant payments and exposing APIs to the outside world.

We are looking for a QA Engineer who will also act as the Scrum Master (Technical Product Owner) for an engineering squad. This is a hybrid role combining technical leadership, process ownership, and team facilitation. The ideal candidate has a strong background in software quality assurance, experience with automation and performance testing frameworks (e.g., Gatling, Karate, JMeter, K6, RestAssured, Cypress, etc.), and a solid understanding of Agile delivery practices.
