In a complex world things usually have many sides. Moral questions and the line between right and wrong can be tricky. However, there are topics where this division is very easy. For example, illegal drug & arms trade and human trafficking are something that we do not want to be promoting under any circumstances. To prevent this kind of crime, you don’t necessarily have to be a state security authority. You can join us at OP to develop solutions that prevent money laundering and thus promote good in the world.

Developer, Anti-Money Laundering

About the role

We are looking for two scenario developers for our AML project. Your role is to develop system scenarios that will be used to monitor money flow anomalies. You are responsible for the design and coding of the software product as you translate functional and technical requirements into detailed design and high-quality software.

In order to do this, you discuss with wide range of experts in our data and business organizations to define rules and criteria for the scenarios. Majority of your work is co-operating with stakeholders and defining hypothesis. You’ll be asking a lot of practical questions, speculating, iterating, experimenting, calibrating and repairing as you try to find an effective way to implement the scenario.

Naturally the coding itself plays important part in the process too as you transfer the scenario into code. This all requires patience but is worth the wait. Final product is a wide range of different scenarios that our experts use to track illegal money transactions. And help us to get the bad guys!

About you

The ALM system is built on top of SAS, so it would be very helpful if you are familiar with SAS programming. If you have not worked with SAS, you should at least have several years of experience in software development with other programming languages. You have knowledge of databases and database solutions, especially in Db2. 

We use Agile and DevOps, so we hope that you are familiar with modern software development methods & tools and have an agile mindset. Your way of working is goal-oriented and analytical. You can work creatively and systematically, and you are able to identify dependencies, problems and risks.
You have an interest in money laundering prevention and desire to learn the business process. We hope that you are a trustworthy person with good teamwork and interaction skills. In work-related matters you communicate fluently in English. Finnish skills are an advantage, but not mandatory.

You don’t have to excel everything from the day one, as learning while and by doing and eagerness to learn are profound elements of our culture here in OP. We will train you in the SAS AML system. And as stated above, you are not alone – your team and colleagues are here to help you.

What we offer

Our corporate culture and every-day operations are based on our core values: Responsibility, Succeeding Together and People First. For us, Responsibility means that by our solutions we are also developing Finnish economy and society. We can serve our society the best way by creating good banking solutions, insurance solutions and digital service channels.

Succeeding together for its part means that we strongly believe in cooperation. We share knowledge and expertise within and between our teams, and we learn from each other every day. 

People First means healthy relationship with work. With the Agile transformation journey, which we started for over a year ago, we have wanted to give our agile teams great power and responsibility of their own work. We have full trust on our professionals and experts, and we give them freedom to do what they do best in a way that suits best for them.

Even though we have transformed from a traditional financial group more and more towards a technology house, you should not forget that we are a bank, after all. And this means that as an employee of OP, you will enjoy cheap mortgages and significant insurance benefits along with competitive salaries. Also, you will be offered extensive occupational health care plus health and accident insurances. And as a big house we also have the benefits of a big organization for your personal professional growth and development! As a cliffhanger, we can mention our internal education program, OP Software Academy, which is created to broaden and deepen our employees’ technical skills and competence.
