ABN AMRO’s IT organization is your biggest client, which is an international environment with people from all over the world. You meet with your colleagues frequently, with developers, product owners, grid owners, from all business lines, throughout the entire bank.

If information security is at stake, you will have to step in and quickly come up with creative and smart alternatives. There is a range of technologies and supporting tooling you will work with.
