Banks have to deal with an increasing level of reporting requirements by the regulators. Within our team, we develop and implement solutions to meet new requirements as well as to improve existing requirements. Besides the supervisors, also our internal stakeholders, who are responsible for delivering the Reports, have requirements for our reporting application called Axiom ControllerView. The internal stakeholders’ requests range from Data Quality improvements to better analysis possibilities and much more.

The team's scope covers the Accounting and Reporting area. We build and maintain software to deliver a variety of regulatory reports, such as the Liability Data Report, Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Monthly Securities Report, Social Economics and more. Also the Balance Sheet and P&L statement of the bank are created in our application. Developing and maintaining the software, but also stakeholder management and planning will be part of your scope as an IT engineer.

Your job

The Axiom Scrum team is part of a value chain containing a number of teams who collaborate closely to meet our goals of compliancy and digital excellence. You will find yourself in an informal work environment with enough time for laughter, fun and social events. Besides the team environments, there are networks such as “Young ABN AMRO” and “FRITS" (Finance & Risk IT Starters). They regularly organize social and professional events such as monthly drinks, sports events, educational events and much more.

The role of an IT Engineer is diverse and covers, amongst others:

• Development and maintenance of software in the Axiom ControllerView application.
• Automation by using REST APIs.
• Data analysis using Axiom ControllerView and/or SQL.
• Connecting with and understanding the requirements of stakeholders
• Testing new software – technical and functional.
• Analysing Data Quality issues and taking mitigating actions.
• Daily communication with the Scrum team and other stakeholders in various levels and departments in the bank.

Our Scrum team consists of a Product Owner, Business Developers and IT Engineers. The combination of these different roles in one team promotes thorough collaboration between business and IT. After interpretation of the new regulation by the “Policies & Internal Control” team, it is up to the business developers in the DevOps team to translate the policy documents to functional requirements. Subsequently, the IT Engineer translates the functional requirements into software in the Axiom ControllerView application.

Next to implementing regulatory requirements, the team also has an IT application to take care of. This means that, for example, Incident Management, Release Management and Life Cycle Management are also part of the work. Recently, we have done a major upgrade to a new browser-based version of our Axiom ControllerView application. Moreover, we have just finalized our migration from an on premise solution to the cloud. Axiom ControllerView is now hosted on the AWS cloud with the infrastructure being maintained by the vendor (Nasdaq) in a cloud service which lies between SaaS and PaaS. Furthermore, we are also working on automation using scripting and configuration inside the Axiom ControllerView application.
