Azure Cloud engineer

Keytrade Bank is a young bank, where IT systems traditionally were all developed in house. Currently we are moving to a model where we focus on customer experience and innovative products, relying more and more on off-the-shelf products and services for the basic functionality. Where in the past, responsibilities were organized by technical competences, we now are organizing them per business domain, called Feature Team.

The creation of new products requires strong interaction between all IT fields: the back-end; the front-end, database, infrastructure, vendors and service providers.

Working in a small bank is very different than working in a big bank. Responsibilities are greater, knowledge broader. We have a very high growth rate and we are looking for motivated people willing to become part of our dynamic teams to help improve and transform its existing trading and banking system.

We do have initiatives related to DATA and AI for which there is a need for providing the Azure data platform that will be used to answer the questions our business has via PowerBI reports and to help solving customers issues faster than ever. For those, experience with Azure Data services is wanted!

On the side, we are still refactoring our core systems and transforming them in micro services deployed on AWS following Domain Driven Design principles. In the context of this renewal effort, experience in building and providing both Classical and Cloud Platform Services (AWS) to the software development teams.
