The Mission

In 2014, ING suffered from various outages in payments processing and it was repeatedly reported by newspapers and on television. ING management started a task force to mitigate the issues. However, the real solution was born at an ING Hackathon a few months before. In just 24 hours the winning team delivered a prototype that could process payments in real-time which was far better than the batch processing used so far. The new system was named Real-Time Payments Engine which nowadays processes hundreds of millions of Loan, Savings and Payments transactions per year.

At this moment we are building the platform for Instant Payments and Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Credit Transfer payments for all European ING entities. This includes new connectivity to many account management systems and clearinghouses. Think of real-time and batch processing of high volume asynchronous, stateless communication, resilience patterns, idempotent application design and much more.

Your day to day

Your squad is responsible for the maintenance and operations of a part of the payment engine. Each engineer has his or her specialty and your specialty is testing. You will make sure the application is of high quality on all aspects (functional, performance, resilience, security). Most of our tests will be automatically executed and therefore test automation will be part of your job. As the whole team is responsible for maintenance and operations, we expect you to take part of standby as well.

We are not looking for test automation engineers, as your tasks will be more divers then that.

Examples of your tasks are:

• Refinement and planning with your squad, squads from the end to end chain and the product owner. The feature needs to be an integrated part of the total solution
• Apply your understanding of capacity- and performance management to ensure that our application is performing top of the class
• You setup continuous delivery pipelines and use these in your squad
• Automate and execute functional tests with cucumber and karate
• You help the squad taking counter measures to ensure confidentiality and integrity of data and availability of the system
• You use the most important ITIL processes and understand how these support the quality of your application

What you’ll bring to the team

• You have at least 3 years experience in testing of back end systems and at least 5 years with Cucumber (java implementation)
• Your testing experience is at least 5 years and in those years you have executed different types of testing (functional, performance, resilience, security).
• You focus on delivering quality above quantity
• You are have hands on experience with CI/CD
• Fluent in English
