Job description
At ING Hubs Türkiye, we're looking for a Solution Architect who enjoys translating complex business challenges into scalable technology solutions, driving architectural decisions, and shaping the future state of critical banking platforms across ING's international ecosystem.
This is more than a solution design role. You'll collaborate with business and technology stakeholders, define end-to-end architectures, contribute to modernization initiatives, and help engineering teams deliver secure, scalable, and future‑ready solutions that serve millions of customers worldwide.
As a Solution Architect, you will play a key role in shaping and evolving the technology landscape of your domain. Working closely with Product Owners, Domain Architects, Engineers, and Business Stakeholders, you will translate business requirements into robust technical solutions while ensuring alignment with ING's architectural principles and strategic roadmap.
You will contribute to large‑scale transformation programs, API‑driven ecosystems, microservices‑based platforms, cloud adoption initiatives, and integration architectures while helping teams balance scalability, maintainability, security, and speed of delivery.
The solutions you design don't stay local — they contribute to platforms and services used across ING's international banking network, creating impact well beyond our office in Istanbul.
At ING Hubs Türkiye, flexibility is more than a benefit — it's part of how we work.
Our hybrid way of working is designed to balance collaboration, innovation, and personal flexibility. Team members typically come together at our Vadistanbul office for two days per week during three weeks of the month, while one week each month is fully remote.
We also offer additional flexibility during the summer period, with remote working opportunities throughout August, allowing colleagues to spend more time where they feel most productive while staying connected to their teams.
As part of a globally distributed organization, you'll collaborate with colleagues across multiple ING locations while contributing to solutions that create impact across the bank.
You will join an international technology environment where collaboration, ownership, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing are central to how we work.
Our teams are responsible for designing and delivering technology solutions that support ING's digital transformation journey. We believe strong architecture practices, engineering excellence, automation, and customer‑centric design are key ingredients for building reliable and scalable solutions.
We hire smart people like you for your potential. Our biggest expectation is that you'll stay curious. Keep learning. Take on responsibility. In return, we'll back you to develop into an even more awesome version of yourself.
