I started as student IT, but I now work as a Software Engineer in CorePayment, where I primarily help develop and maintain the MobilePay backend.

What do you especially like about your job?

What do you especially like about your job?

The IT systems of the bank are complex and use a wide range of technologies; old and new. That allows me to develop my skills in many different areas, while also gives me the opportunity to dig deep into specific topics that interest me.

Sayok - Software Engineer

If I have to describe my 6+ years with Danske Bank in a single word, it would be ‘Growth’. Starting out as a software engineer working on legacy platforms, I now work with a team, which is responsible for driving digital transformation for the bank. The Cloud development journey is an important area in that spectrum. We equip developers including campus recruits with tools, the expertise and the training to embrace the transformation effectively. Apart from core engineering projects, I am also involved in strategic collaboration driven projects where we support other business units.
At Danske Bank, we have end-to-end ownership of the project, which makes it both challenging and exciting. The recognition and appreciation I have received from the organisation only serve as inspiration to deliver further break through results.

A challenging industry

What I really enjoy about working in Danske and the financial industry are the challenges. We work with real-time transactions. This means that everything we do has a huge impact and that a slight mistake can have big consequences. Having to stay sharp and on my toes is intellectually stimulating. I have also had great support from my managers in my ambition to work towards a role as business analyst. They have really helped me believe in myself and develop the skill set necessary to flourish in my new role.
