Senior Platform Engineer - Global Observability Platform
Global Monitoring Area
Our department is at the IT heart of ING. Our purpose is to build a truly Global Observability Platform that enables ING services to run seamlessly and puts engineers in control of their observability. We are a diverse team working from all over the world with a passion for engineering and great attention to non-functional requirements. We trust our engineers, and we guide them in making an impact and in their professional growth. Although we are a big team (80+ people), we stay lean and improve on a daily basis.
Our Platform – One Observability Platform (OOP)
At ING the landscape has become increasingly complex with more applications added every day. We depend and rely on each other to deliver a reliable service to our customers that demands the very best of us.
Every single day, our engineers typically look at metrics, traces and logs to assess the health of their application, all of which need to be pulled from different sources and interfaces. OOP (was MDPL) provides a solution where they can combine data with just a few clicks but being connected and dependent on a large chain of applications raises the need for insights beyond their application to run a reliable service.
