Projects in the Financial Solutions department are largely expected to follow the same technical approach, from the proposal phase through to go-live. You’ll be responsible for the ongoing refinement of the SDLC processes: “clear” guardrails that are effective in day-to-day project work—not just on a slide.
The Financial Solutions department comprises about 70 people. Business analysts, project managers, and consultants are primarily based in Austria, while engineering teams are located in our delivery hubs in Poland and Lithuania. In Poland, we’ll be expanding our FS team by about 30 people in 2027.
Framework and Technology
This is a matrix role: technical leadership without personnel responsibility; commercial responsibility lies with the project and program managers. Technologically, the department works primarily with Java and Angular.
