(Internal) Backend Developer Advocate at ING

 We are seeking a Backend Developer Advocate to join our dynamic team at ING. This role is perfect for someone with a background in backend development, either as a developer advocate or with experience working within ING.

The team

Our team is a mix of developer advocates and topic experts. We are small and will stay so. We are 3 developer advocates (you, front-end and DevOps) working on with a team of 3 topic experts for education, communication, project leading, Community… to help ensure an optimal impact of our initiatives.

We have a strong backing of the organization (When was the last time you saw a corporation CTO join local Meetups?) but our area is new in an existing, large organization. This means you are comfortable with uncertainty and creating your own path.

 Here’s how your typical week will look like:

• First and foremost, we want you to be and stay part of the community. You spend 20 to 40% of your time engineering (this does not only mean coding). You choose the specific area you want to dive in, eg. testing / API / Java but you should know and feel the life of a developer at ING.
• The rest of the time, you take a bird’s eye view and find scalable ways to improve the general experience of developers and reduce friction. This may be by creating awareness, training others, creating opportunities, advocating for tooling and more

Roles and responsibilities

Your main goal is to create opportunities for others. You are successful if you are making other successful.

• You advocate for all backend developers within ING, ensuring their needs and feedback are heard and addressed. You help drive and are part of some of our communities of practice. You develop and deliver technical content, including blog posts, tutorials, and presentations, to engage and educate the developer community.
• You are welcome to represent ING at industry events, meetups, and conferences to promote our engineering culture and attract top talent, but this is not your primary role.

How to succeed

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.

• Proven experience as a developer advocate or backend developer, preferably within
• ING. You either know the internal stack or have experience communicating with developers.
• We have no requirement for years of experience, but you need to have the credibility of a senior engineer.
• Strong technical background in backend development• Passion for community building and developer engagement.
