About the role

ING's Payment and Settlement Services (PSS) is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join their team in Amsterdam. PSS is an independent unit within ING's CTO domain, responsible for delivering state-of-the-art payments and settlement services to multiple business lines. You will focus on the development, deployment, and operational excellence of payment engine platforms, APIs, and microservices built with Java and Spring frameworks, deployed via Azure DevOps pipelines.

Responsibilities

Take full ownership of the technology stack across Development, Test, Acceptance, and Production environments

Automate relentlessly: manage configuration via Ansible, deploy via CI/CD pipelines, and eliminate redundant manual tasks through scripting

Oversee regression testing (functional, performance, security), deployments, and operations including data centre failover, backups/restore, and security monitoring

Manage the complete lifecycle of all infrastructure components (OS, middleware, database) and security controls (encryption certificates, access management, vulnerability patching)

Work in Agile/Scrum squads, collaborating with Technical Product Owners and capability teams to deliver features and improvements

Enhance application monitoring using Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, and telemetry tools with appropriate alerting

Support High Availability and Disaster Recovery testing and implementation

Identify opportunities to automate deployments, monitoring, and operational processes

Conduct root cause analysis for issues and propose viable technical solutions

Take ownership of technical improvements and see them through to completion

Assist with technical specifications for change requests and user stories

Implement continuous deployment and delivery practices using Azure DevOps

Ensure IT risk and security controls are in place and documented in accordance with ING Information Security Management Policy

Work environment

You will work within a high-performing DevOps squad practising the Agile manifesto, where problem-solving drives technology choice rather than the reverse. The team is committed to fostering a strong engineering culture and delivering high-productivity outcomes. Work is hybrid, with the option to work from home or from the office in Amsterdam (Cedar location). You will collaborate closely with multiple business lines and capability squads across ING.
