THE JOB AT BACKBASE

You will be part of the development team in which you will fulfil a leading role only gained by excellent performance. Talking highly specific technical details as well as discussing general business outcomes, you comfortably translate customer requirements into a coherent solution design. Beyond the functional requirements you focus yourself and the customer on security, deployment, performance, caching, sizing, scalability and serviceability.

You know our projects are to be delivered according to briefing, time and budget, but you also know our technicians need their space to build the solutions you’ve defined. By creating structure and clear explanations, you provide guidance and oversight to your team.

Part of the job is creating technical architecture documentation; working with the QA Lead to define the test strategy; leading DevOps to define and implement CI/CD pipelines; ensuring that implementations meet non-functional requirements, and you will be traveling a significant amount of the time, spending time on-site during the inception phase and when providing training and workshops.

Throughout your interactions with customers you will promote the Backbase product and help the customer get the most value out of their Backbase investment. Internally you will represent the voice of our customers in providing feedback and direction to our product development teams.
