Working environment

The Non-Financial Risk Grid of ABN AMRO is a part of the lively foundation of the Risk business of the bank. It makes sure that the ABN AMRO can file every piece of risk data that needs to land safely in the hands of our risk departments. This grid is a mix of serious combination of business and technology expertise that is challenging all of us every day of the week, and at times 24/7.

The Azure Chapter has about 10 members with various levels of experience. You will be working with some of the chapter members also in your block (team). The focus of your block is on having Customer of the Shelf software running properly on the Azure cloud. We use multiple ways of deploying and releasing new versions and are continuously looking for ways to automate, monitor and improve the platform and software. You report to the IT Lead who is also your sparring partner for challenges with regards to staffing or other bigger topics like architecture.

At ABN AMRO, we want to be a personal bank in a digital age. That strategy is also brought to life through how we work ourselves.

As chapter lead, you will work in a fast paced and accessible environment. We love to share knowledge and to challenge each other, for example by sharing our expertise in our blog, during the events of our developer community and by organizing hackathons.
