Does working in a complex environment of data platforms and services make you happy? Do you like working with the latest tools and technology? Then this is the role for you.

As an IT Platform Engineer you are responsible for developing and implementing crucial functionality for the Enterprise Data Lake. You will work closely with other development engineers, system administrators, and security professionals to ensure the platform meets the bank's needs while adhering to best practices in scalability, reliability, fault tolerance and security.
