Front end developer engineer (digital bancassurance)
ING is currently entering a partnership with an Insurer to launch a digital bancassurance proposition. In line with ING's strategy, offering protection is a key next step in realizing our ambition to become the "go-to place for financial needs. Current statistics say there is <0.1% presence in the digital bancassurance channel and we believe ING can be the first to crack digital bancassurance, untapping great market potential. ING will shape the market with a digital, hyper customer-centric proposition. To make this global and scalable we will build a central delivery platform to unify analytics, propositions and customer experience. The customer experience will be offered along the themes Life, Travel, Assist, Motor, Home and Health, where we will combine the best of both banking and insurance.
About the job
We believe that business value is delivered by agile top engineers working together in high performing Biz/ Dev/Ops/Sec teams. For this proposition, squads will need to be set up still and the various disciplines would need to work together.
C&G is looking for enthusiastic Dev Engineers. Team-players that are technically passionate, proud of their craft, solution-focussed and broadly developed: able to design, develop, test, deliver and maintain high-quality software solutions for our customers.
As part of the partner selection, a lot of time and energy has been spent on understanding each other’s architectures, integration patterns and foreseen key features. As we are now kicking off the programme we are aiming to get a number of squads up and running which will start with the insurance partner integration, as well as the design thinking to get a first proposition out of the door. The goal is to learn fast and overcome impediments early in the process, so we can get the the next step, a central platform, up and running quickly in the iterations to come. Eventually this would need to be integrated in ING front end channels (web, mobile app).
