Description

The company's Central and Eastern Europe technology centre, the Bucharest Technology Centre (BEX), has been running since 2013, delivering global technology products and services and playing a major role in the bank's technology overhaul.

The team builds applications for several key business areas and is a core part of the bank's technology platform. It works in a hands-on engineering setting focused on learning, sharing knowledge, building technical skills and networking.

Goals are high availability, high performance, fast adoption by the business and low downtime. The stack is Java, Camunda, Spring, Hibernate and Elasticsearch on OpenShift/Kubernetes, with end-to-end CI/CD pipelines.

In this role you will manage or carry out work across several parts of the bank's workflow platform, including analysis, development and administration. You will plan and build engineering solutions for business goals, build reliability and resilience through testing and review at every delivery stage, and keep engineering work maintainable and reusable.
