Are you an experienced DevOps Engineer with Python knowledge who wants to contribute to a sustainable society? Do you want to work on your own development and grow in an informal organisation where you can really make an impact? Then we are looking for you!

BNG Bank is owned by and serves the public sector. That is where we come from, and that is what sets us apart. We apply our knowledge and expertise in a targeted manner, thereby increasing our social impact. For us, it is not about maximising profits, but about maximising social impact. That is what drives us! We are a relatively small organisation with the advantages of broad job roles and short lines of communication. With us, you can deliver outstanding performance and you will be given a lot of responsibility right away.

What will you be doing?

You will start in a T-shaped role, in which you will have a specialism but will also be more broadly deployable within the team. The activities alongside your specialism can range from assessing requirements and translating these into concrete solutions to improving the IT landscape. You will also support the department by providing technical support.

• Setting up Azure and Windows infrastructure;
• Applying patching and vulnerability management to ensure a secure IT landscape;
• Expanding and improving CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps;
• Managing and maintaining the Back Office and Front Office systems;
• Drawing up high-level designs and testing them against the organisation's architectural principles;

Your workplace

As a DevOps Engineer at Stroom Financiële Transacties, you will be part of the Delivery department within the COO column of BNG Bank. The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is responsible for all ICT and facility services within the bank.

The Delivery department consists of approximately 130 employees and 16 scrum teams. Within the large Financial Transactions team, four sub-teams work closely together. The team is responsible for developing, maintaining and continuously improving the applications for our Front Office and Back Office departments. In doing so, you will support many different aspects of BNG Bank, such as funding, customers, reporting and financial administration.

The team works continuously within BNG Bank to improve the services provided to our internal customers. You will work with your colleagues in multidisciplinary teams that apply an Agile (Scrum) working method with DevOps principles in the development and management of applications.

What we ask of you

You are a Developer with a pragmatic and, above all, hands-on mentality. You have strong analytical skills, you work in a structured manner and you are interested in details. However, you never lose sight of your ultimate goal.

You are flexible, creative and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. You think proactively about the professionalisation and digitisation of our business processes. The exact details of your work will be tailored to your knowledge, experience and ambitions. We will focus on your experience and ambitions to make the best use of your talents. Because you will be in close contact with colleagues and users, you need to be able to communicate clearly and concisely, be customer-oriented and work well in a team.

In addition, you have:

• A proactive attitude focused on continuous learning and improvement, whereby you are constantly looking for opportunities to improve and automate.
• Experience with programming in Python and object-oriented programming.
• Experience with Powershell and Windows-based servers.
• Experience with unit testing in Python; experience with Robot Framework is an advantage.
• Experience with YAML pipelines in Azure DevOps.

• At least 3 years of experience in a similar position;
• Affinity with the financial sector is an advantage;
• Experience with FIS FrontArena is an advantage;
• Experience with desired-state configuration in a Windows environment is an advantage;
