Founded in 2015, BPCE Infogérance & Technologies is a subsidiary of Groupe BPCE, dedicated to Infrastructures, End-User Environment, Security and Production. Driven by growth, expertise, transformation and agility, this project embraces an international mindset and a diverse skill set. You’ll find yourself in a dynamic and enriching workplace or, as we like to name it, a real tech playground, where you’ll be able to explore a huge tech stack. 

The Trust team is in charge of a shared platform which aims to handle all end-users authentication requests. At the center of BPCE clients’ ecosystem, this critical platform is used by our customers to access to their online bank accounts, to digitally sign contracts or to acknowledge online payments.

This perimeter needs to provide 24/7 support, due to its ‘online digital banking’ business.

This brand-new platform is currently being designed to be “state of the art”, using modern technologies such as Google Kubernetes Engine, OpenShift, XLDeploy, Terraform and Jenkins.
Our authentication platform is used 24/7/365 by the clients of our 46 banks and/or subsidiaries, which represents more than 12 million active clients and generating more than 4 billion authentications each year.
You will have the opportunity to build a brand-new platform, using modern tools used by millions of users, what a challenge! Starting the project from scratch you will be in a leading position to choose how to deploy components, how to monitor the application and how to operate it day to day. Let’s build together a world class authentication platform!

#MuchMoreThanJustAJob

Early morning. Campo 24 de Agosto. In 4 minutes, you are clocking in at the office. Start your day having breakfast with the Team and grab fresh fruit on the way to your seat, in one of Porto’s most typical neighborhoods. This Purple Day is going to be a busy one: daily meeting ensuring all team members are on the same page regarding work status, priorities and blockers, language class and, just after, a Talent Management meeting with your manager, discussing your career path. 

Lunch break. Today, your Team is onboarding newcomers, but also welcoming French colleagues: the perfect excuse to walk downtown and bond over a francesinha. When returning, inhale nature and peace of mind in Natixis Urban Garden (look at the crops; ready to harvest!). 

Back inside. Brainstorming session on a new, exciting project in our disruptive and immersive Manaus Village. The afternoon went flying (tasks, meetings, some jokes with your teammates). End it on a high note: celebrating cultural diversity with a Diwali, the Indian festival of lights. 

Tomorrow, you attend a conference led by influential speakers in your industry and, the day after, you will work from home, benefitting from some focus time to complete that report and soft skills course on LinkedIn Learning. Once you are done with your work for the day, strike the right note playing with Natixis band or be part of a board games session. If that is too steady for you, meet your colleagues to catch some waves or sail the Douro river during golden hour.
