An environment in which everyone’s voice counts and where you can reach your full potential regardless of age, background, culture, colour, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran/military status.
The team
By joining the Product Group you will create and deliver customer-centric products in an Agile way, build an ecosystem around the SWIFT platform, and innovate with clients, as part of an Agile tribe or team.
The On Premises tribe offers best-in-class solutions to SWIFT users that need to control their global transactions – our customers use our products to safely store and process their financial transactions with unparalleled reliability and performance, whilst seamlessly integrating them into their upstream and back-office applications. The On Premises tribe aims to responsibly innovate its offering and offer the best customer experience at the highest quality standards.
Today, the tribe’s portfolio consists of two groups; a stack of connectivity products (Alliance Gateway, Alliance Gateway Instant) providing customers with the window into SWIFT, and a messaging stack consisting of Alliance Messaging Hub (a high-end messaging interface), and Alliance Warehouse (a recently launched long-term messaging archive solution).
For this position in particular, you will be part of one of the Alliance Messaging Hub squads working on the core aspects of the product: connectivity to the SWIFT services and message exchange.
What to expect
As a Test / DevOps Engineer, you will be working closely with internal customers, technical analysts and other engineers to develop your product/service. You will design, execute, automate tests in line with agreed requirements, and will work with other engineers of your team to provide the requested functionalities end to end. You will enhance and maintain continuous integration/deployment frameworks, and you will constantly strive to further automate and optimize where possible.
