Your goal is to seamlessly integrate the Backbase platform into our customers’ systems and then build on top of that, making a final solution perfectly tailored towards customer needs.

The job includes a full range of responsibilities, from feature development and innovation to maintenance, upgrades and on-call support. You will provide support by providing solicited and unsolicited advice, mentoring, audits and training on the job. With your confidence and skills, you meet and exceed customer desires. You leave behind an impeccable impression and you will bring home components that can be reused or further developed.

• Backbase is rapidly expanding, and you will deliver speedy and cost-efficient solutions;
• When we mention a ‘getting things done’ mentality, you immediately recognise yourself;
• You may be a born presenter, but if you’re not, you are at least eager to learn how to deliver an outstanding presentation;
• You like to share your knowledge and are able to clearly explain to others while giving training and running workshops.
