Full Stack Developer - Front-end Chapter Lead (DBNK)

About Keytrade Bank

Keytrade Bank is a young bank, where IT systems traditionally were all developed in house. Currently we are moving to a model where we focus on customer experience and innovative products, relying more and more on off-the-shelf products and services for the basic functionality. Where in the past, responsibilities were organized by technical competences, we now are organizing them per business domain, called Feature Team.

The creation of new products requires strong interaction between all IT fields: the back-end; the front-end, database, infrastructure, vendors and service providers.

Working in a small bank is very different than working in a big bank. Responsibilities are greater, knowledge broader. We have a very high growth rate and we are looking for motivated people willing to become part of our dynamic teams to help improve and transform its existing trading and banking system.

Currently we are refactoring our core systems and transforming them in micro services deployed on AWS following Domain Driven Design principles.

Responsible 

Belonging to a non-listed, cooperative mutualistic group with ambitious environmental and social commitments , Keytrade Bank understands its role and responsibility in society and how it can contribute to a better tomorrow. Our goal is to pave the way for our clients to take their own well-informed, sustainable and socially responsible decisions.
