This is going to be your job

APG Asset Management is one of the most prominent asset managers in Europe. With more than €600 billion in assets under management and an active investment policy, APG AM sees itself as a leader in data-based investment. In the past few years APG AM has made substantial investments in attracting and training people to strengthen itself in the areas of digitization and data science.

The Self-Service & Data Science (SS&DS) team consists of ten specialists and is responsible for running and expanding the platforms that enable the investment, risk and operational teams to make applications and investigate data autonomously. Where necessary this team works together with the business teams in a form of co-creation.

To cater to growing demand, the Self-Service and Data Science (SS&DS) team is looking for a front-end DevOps engineer.

What you can expect from working as a front-end DevOps engineer with APG AM/SS&DS

You’ll be working in a multidisciplinary team with a very clear focus, namely digitizing APG AM.

You’ll be working with technology that enables the business teams to work with data in the simplest possible way within the risk frameworks. For the front-end DevOps engineer the focus is on constructing business applications in close cooperation with the APG Asset Management business teams. You’ll need to adapt to the level of knowledge of each particular business team. For example for one particular team you might have to help set up a ‘minimal viable product’ and hand it over to the business team to run, while for a more experienced team you might only have to help now and then with elaborating a particular functionality or optimizing a code. You might also be called upon to build checks for business applications to better assure availability.

The activities of a front-end DevOps engineer consist of:

• creating business applications with Python, R, Alteryx, Qlik Sense and various database systems including MS SQL in close cooperation with asset management specialists. This involves making the UI, the business logics/models and the necessary back-end application components.
• carrying out functional and security tests.
• performing code reviews and where necessary making improvements to business users’ codes.
• preparing designs, designing data flows and modeling data.
• The asset management specialists will help in making their applications operationally ready. Examples might include making interfaces/APIs with other production systems, fine-tuning monitoring, etc.
• automating application deployments (building CI/CD pipelines) by means of Azure DevOps for example.
• automating system implementation, by means of scripting with Ansible for example.

This is what you offer

The position of front-end DevOps engineer in the Self-Service & Data Science team will suit you best if you’re an all-round IT specialist good at working together with IT specialists from other teams and able to work with the asset management specialists such as portfolio managers, traders and risk managers on business IT solutions. It will therefore be important for you to delve into asset management processes and to be prepared to acquire knowledge of the data needed for investment decisions. It is also important for you to be able to develop software in a structured manner and to undertake data modeling, if necessary with the help of a business solution engineer.

What knowledge and experience do you need as a front-end DevOps engineer?

• At least five years’ experience as a Python developer and experience making Azure Devops pipelines.
• Solid knowledge of Linux (RedHat).
• At least three years’ experience with system integration and Cloud techniques (making APIs, micro-services).
• Demonstrable experience constructing front-end systems. For example making dashboards (with Qlik Sense) and websites working with Dash and/or Shiny.
• Ability to adapt to the dynamic of providing support (doing unplanned work) and delivering new functionality in accordance with Agile PI planning.

This is where you'll work

We offer you a competitive salary of maximum €7.220 based on a 40 hours working week and attractive terms of employment with a focus on flexibility.

• A guaranteed year-end bonus of 8.33%.
• Ample attention to your vitality and personal development.
• Hybrid working: at home and in one of our superb offices.
• And of course a well organized pension.
