Ops Engineer - Wholesale Banking Tech Lending

ING is looking for an experienced Ops Engineer to help build on our transformation ambition for the Wholesale Lending Business.

ING’s goal is to enable people to “do their thing” and empower them to stay a step ahead in life and business. We are one of the largest banks in Europe and we continuously evolve to become one of the most innovative companies in the banking sector.

Within Tribe Lending we have set ourselves on a mission to become fully digitized and data led so as to enhance the experience of our Clients and our employees.

Lending is the core of ING’s lifeline. Hence also the driver in ING’s transformation journey.

In our urge to make complex Lending simple, reusing data, following the patterns it provides and predicting the investments we make in our clients is key. We are tackling fundamental, high impact solutions in the financial services industry. Our Tribe consists of roughly 120 professionals and we are growing to accelerate this transformation journey. We are talking of making a fresh start, being creative, challenging the status quo and defer decisions to data and algorithms. We are talking of game changers. So if this sounds exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, read on!
