The mission

We are looking for a proactive senior engineer with a focus of 80% frontend and 20% backend. Our stakeholders are part of the Operational tribe in the financial sector, who often face challenges such as fragmented systems and inefficient workflows in the current way of working.

The OpenFin Platform application solves these problems by providing a unified desktop experience based on the cutting-edge OpenFin framework and the FDC3 protocol standards, enabling interoperability between web applications that typically do not communicate with each other. It is a Desktop application that integrates a Chromium browser where different Web Applications from inside ING can communicate seamlessly.

We expect you to be responsible and take ownership together with your colleagues in Bucharest and stakeholders from across the continent. Be open, honest, proactive, and communicate clearly and, most importantly, be a team-player that drives the team forward.
