You’ll learn a huge amount – not only about the various aspects of Tech within ING, but also about banking and finance, which is a world with its own specific challenges. There is a strong focus on your professional and personal development. In parallel, you will gain extensive work experience by doing several rotations within different teams on very varied projects. At the end of the one-year Tech Class programme, subject to satisfactory performance, you can expect to be offered a permanent role within ING.

The Tech organization is located in Amsterdam, but is very internationally oriented. Business and Tech professionals work together in agile squads. Your fellow squad members are results-oriented, self-motivated professionals. They are committed to delivering optimally functioning software and keeping our systems reliable at all times.

You have one clear goal in the first year: to gain maximum experience during an exciting and intensive journey within the bank. Your first year consists of four assignments: three personal rotations in three different agile squads within various Tech and business domains, and one group assignment. You and your fellow Tech Class members will work in small groups on a specific innovative project. At the end of the two months, you will deliver a working product, which you will pitch to senior management during a special Tech Class event.

Your skills can add value in countless different domains within the bank: financial markets, lending, payments, channels, finance, reporting and cash pooling solutions for Wholesale Banking customers, to name but a few. You will work in line with continuous delivery and continuous integration principles. Our system’s landscape involves in-house development, configuration of vendor solutions (including usage of their domain-specific languages), extensive automation of processes and data analysis, and many innovative new products.

These are just some examples of what you might be working on:

• Real-time pricing systems, covering equity, fixed income and FX asset classes
• Payment engines and order managers (handling real-time or batch processing)
• Portal & omnichannel development, achieving the best user experience
• Cyberfraud prevention
• High performance computing
• (Open) API development
• Automation of tests and operational procedures
• reliability engineering

To apply for the Tech Class, send us your CV, motivation letter and grade lists (bachelor’s and master’s grades so far). All documents should be in English.

And then… After a screening phase, you will be invited to complete an online technical assessment. The results, together with your application documents, will be analysed by a management committee. In case of a positive outcome, you will be invited for one of our digital selection days at the end of May.

During the selection day, you will be interviewed by two potential coaches, have the opportunity to talk with engineers of the Tech Class, and get all the information you need for a great transition into working at ING. At the end of the day, you hear whether you will receive an offer. The Tech Class starts on 1 September 2023.

ING is increasingly transforming into a digital bank and has high ambitions in terms of Tech. The bank is becoming an ever-more tech-driven organisation with an outstanding engineering culture. In order to achieve our ambitious goals, we need the very best people – not only experienced professionals, but also the most talented starters. People like you!
