OUR PARTNER:

Our partner, ABN AMRO Clearing, is a global leader in the domain of clearing, offering access to a wide range of listed instruments on markets across the globe.

IT is at the heart of their organization with more than 30 different product teams and 10 different platform teams that are trying to build the best products & services for their customers.

Their presence in important financial centers like Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo Hong Kong, London, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt and Iasi, allows them to effectively serve clients worldwide and maintain close proximity to their diverse customer base.

THE ROLE INVOLVES:

Our customer's systems play a critical role in everything they do within the clearing and risk management domain.

That is why their application development teams collaborate closely to explore ideas and shape the future direction of their platforms.

Together, you will build and maintain an outstanding suite of reliable, high-performing systems and applications.

As a Senior C++ Engineer within our customer's development team, you will:

• Establish technical vision and direction for major initiatives, building high-quality, architecturally sound systems.

• Bring clarity to complexity and demonstrate smart, pragmatic ways to simplify the overall ecosystem.

• Work closely with your team to deliver tangible value to business partners, with a strong focus on stakeholder satisfaction.

The scope of these systems is large, and the organization's technology leaders will trust you with one of their most critical assets. Your decisions will have a direct impact on trust within the financial markets and on the flow of millions of euros.
