ING Hubs Romania offers 130 services in software development, data management, non-financial risk & compliance, audit, and retail operations to 24 ING units worldwide, with the help of over 1700 high-performing engineers, risk, and operations professionals.

Now we provide borderless services with bank-wide capabilities and operate from two locations: Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca.

Our tech capabilities remain the core of our business, with more than 1500 colleagues active in Data Management, Touchpoint Channels & Integration, Core Banking, and Global Products.

We enjoy a flexible way of working and a highly collaborative environment, where fair and constructive feedback is encouraged.

For us, impact isn't a perk. It's the driver of our work.

We are guided and rewarded by a shared desire to make the world a better place, one innovative solution at a time. Our colleagues make it their job to do impactful things and they love doing it in good company. Do you?

The Mission

At this moment we are building the Global Payments Order Manager Platform called OMaaP (Order Manager As A Platform) which will use to process Instant Payments and Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Credit Transfer payments for all European ING entities and more. This includes new connectivity

to many account management systems and clearinghouses via Payment Engine. Think of real-time and batch processing of high volume asynchronous, stateless communication, resilience patterns, idempotent application design, and much more. The OMaaP platform will process millions of transactions per day.
