Lead the FCM team through analyzing business requirements and delivering Spring Boot/Kafka applications
Because of the rapidly changing digital environment KLM wants to become the most data & technology driven airline in the world.
Changing our way of working, modernizing our technology stack and architecture and the right positioning of the people in this Data & Technology organization is key in achieving this ambition.
The core of this new organization is business platforms, consisting of product teams organized around business processes, whereby business and IT are together end-to-end responsible for the digital products and services that support those business processes. To empower this ambition a large program has been started this year to enable our digital transformation.
