We enjoy a flexible way of working and a highly collaborative environment, where fair and constructive feedback is encouraged.

For us, impact isn't a perk. It's the driver of our work.

We are guided and rewarded by a shared desire to make the world a better place, one innovative solution at a time. Our colleagues make it their job to do impactful things and they love doing it in good company. Do you?

The Mission

ING Hubs is looking for a strong developer who is technically passionate, solution-focused and able to design, develop, test, maintain and expand the functionalities of the Inside Business Portal that is used by corporate clients (operating in 40 countries) globally.

Our squad aims to develop “the ONE” Channel for Employees by building our 360 client view for Inside Business Portal users. In this way we will empower our colleagues to help clients better & faster with their requests.

At this moment, ING employees that are supporting our clients, are working with several applications and tools in order to gather all the information's that they need to process the requests that they get.

With the 360 Client View application we would like to gather all this information in one place. It will make it possible for the ING employees to gather informations about client accounts, payments and more.

At the moment, the team is already fully responsible for the entire flow of development, maintenance and delivery of 4 applications, out of which 2 are written in Kotlin.

Future plan is to rewrite the 2 Kotlin applications in Java.

It’s not mandatory to have Kotlin experience but it will be really helpful and highly appreciated.
