The Mission

The Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Project has the aim to digitally transform the value proposition and service model offered to our Business Banking clients.

The Technical Solution Analyst (known as Feature Engineer within ING Group) has to clarify the technical solution requirements within multiple projects (squads). In this role, you will work closely together with the domain/enterprise architect, technical leads, Product Owner, and other Feature Engineers, by contributing to the tech strategy & vision within the customer domain for Retail and Business Banking.

Our feature squads are able to fulfil internal consumer needs in a one-stop-shop-way, by understanding the customer journey, changing the API, updating the front end, and fully productizing the new product feature.

Your day to day*

Even if you’ll start your day from the comfort of your home or drink your morning coffee in our office’s garden, your day will be quite similar when comes to tasks. Here are your daily responsibilities:

• Providing the purpose, context and direction to the team from both business and technical point of view, always taking into consideration the product goal and mission.

• Manage cross-squad dependencies to ensure an end-to-end delivery and support them in the delivery process.

*Considering that you’ll work closely with other teams from the ING group, occasional international travel might be required
