Job description

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build the next generation of digital asset, tokenization, and distributed financial infrastructure capabilities within ING.

You will design and develop scalable backend services, APIs, integration layers, event-driven applications, and cloud-native platforms that support emerging digital asset and distributed ledger initiatives.

As part of a globally distributed organization, you'll collaborate with colleagues across multiple ING locations and contribute to solutions used across the bank.

About the Team

You will join an international technology organization where ownership, knowledge sharing, collaboration, and engineering excellence are at the heart of everything we do.

Our teams design and deliver critical technology platforms that support ING's digital transformation journey. We believe scalable architectures, strong engineering practices, automation, and continuous learning are essential for delivering reliable solutions at scale.
