Chapter Lead C#/ .NET

At a glance

At ABN AMRO we are looking for a strong Chapter Lead .NET to join us in the re-design and transformation of our Asset Liability Management (ALM) technology domain. ALM can be described as a bank within the bank, as our department sits at the heart of the bank and is responsible for managing the total balance sheet in relation to interest rate, liquidity, and capital risk. You’ll be joining a team of versatile engineers and business developers, working in a dynamic and Agile DevOps environment to deliver the best possible results for our stakeholders, who include the board of directors and other business segments of the bank as well as external supervisory authorities like the DNB and ECB.

Your job

As a Chapter Lead you will be splitting your work between IT Engineering and managing your team. As an IT Engineer you are working in a DevOps environment, helping to analyse, develop and maintain applications based on .NET, Python and SQL for the bank's ALM department. Your actual daily activities could vary from sprint to sprint but will typically include:  

• Re-designing, implementing and testing ETL processes using Azure native tooling
• Improving test automation (shift-left mindset) and simplifying our development landscape
• Performing daily, weekly and/or monthly runs (OPS) and improving/automating these processes 
• Supporting our stakeholders with data analysis to understand the impact of process changes

• Collaborating with other departments within the bank

• A multidisciplinary and multicultural self-organizing DevOps team (typically 5-9 people per team), in an Agile-Scrum environment 
• An open and highly autonomous culture where you are responsible for your goals and encouraged to give and receive feedback 
• An informal atmosphere with plenty of room for fun (movie/gaming events, monthly drinks, team outings)
