Mission

Touchpoint Platform is part of ING’s “Think Forward” strategy to become a truly global bank. It is a strategic program that aims to provide a globally scalable banking platform by simplifying and standardizing our banking applications and creating a modularly built system.

As a CTK engineer you will work in a squad with other engineers that have similar skills as you. Together you will enhance the Conformance Testkit (CTK). The CTK is designed as a testing harness for applications written within ING ensuring that they meet all functional and non-functional requirements (performance, resilience, security, platform conformance). In addition to verifying whether requirements are being achieved the CTK also assists the application engineer in finding the cause of issues and solving them.
