ABN AMRO – IT Development Engineer (C++) 603069

At ABN AMRO Clearing we aspire to lead the way to safe and transparent financial markets. In banking, Clearing denotes all activities from the time a commitment (buy or sell) is made for a transaction until it is settled. Clearing acts as an intermediary between clients and the exchanges they trade on. We become the buyer to the seller and the seller to the buyer, taking over the risk to reconcile orders between the parties in the transaction. We do so for professional traders, investment managers and corporates. We understand them and strive to deliver reliable high-quality service across the globe. We are proud on what we do. Working at ABN AMRO Clearing means thriving in an international, professional yet informal, IT-driven environment.
For the Market Risk development team we are looking for new colleagues. The team consists of 17 team members, using the scrum method for their daily discipline.

Our Market Risk IT Development Engineers work on large technical projects, help set the direction for our clearing and risk management application landscape and serve as role models within the organization. As IT Development Engineer, you establish vision and technical direction for major initiatives, through building high quality and architecturally sound systems. You develop a deep understanding of trading, clearing, risk management and what the ‘machine’ is doing. You’re not attached to tools and technologies, but you focus on solving problems. You work on the most complex projects while questioning every assumption, involving fellow Engineers, Business partners and Researchers. This also means hands-on programming, testing and putting the new solutions into production. You bring clarity to complexity and demonstrate smart ways to simplify our ecosystem. Together with your team you deliver value to the business partners, aiming for stakeholder satisfaction.
