Would you like to use your COBOL experience for more than maintaining existing systems? In Cash Management, you will have the opportunity to work with solutions that are critical to Danish banks today while helping shape how they are modernised for the future. As part of a newly established team, you will have a say in both our technical direction and the way we collaborate.
You will become part of Cash Management, where we develop and maintain solutions that support key processes for Bankdata’s banks and their customers. You will play an important role in ensuring stable and robust solutions today while also exploring how existing functionality can gradually be modernised from COBOL towards Java-based solutions.
The team consists of three Software Developers, a Business Consultant, a Product Owner and your manager. We have deep business knowledge within Cash Management, while still being a relatively new team. This gives you the opportunity to help shape how we collaborate, our team culture and our technical direction.
We work in an agile way and adjust our ways of working when we see opportunities to improve. You will work both independently and in close collaboration with your colleagues, with knowledge sharing and sparring across business and technology being a natural part of everyday life.
As a Software Developer, you will work across the entire development process – from analysis and design to implementation, testing and quality assurance. You will take responsibility for existing solutions while also having the opportunity to influence our future technical development.
Your responsibilities will include:
developing, maintaining and enhancing our business-critical COBOL solutions
investigating and analyzing complex dependencies, integrations and operational requirements
ensuring high quality and stability through testing, code reviews, documentation and continuous technical improvements
identifying opportunities and technical dependencies related to the modernisation and migration from COBOL towards Java
collaborating and sharing knowledge with the team while contributing to our long-term technical direction.
During your first 6–12 months, you will:
Build a solid understanding of the Cash Management domain and the business processes supported by our solutions. You will become familiar with our existing COBOL solutions, integrations and key process flows and gradually take responsibility for tasks across the entire development process.
At the same time, you will play an active role in identifying technical dependencies and opportunities for modernisation. Our goal is for you to build close working relationships with the rest of the team and contribute your skills, curiosity and perspectives on how we develop our solutions going forward.
We imagine that you enjoy working with complex technical challenges and are motivated by both understanding existing solutions in depth and exploring how they can evolve.
Most importantly, you:
have hands-on experience with COBOL and developing complex or business-critical systems
have experience with troubleshooting, testing and quality assurance and take responsibility for quality throughout the process – from analysis to the finished solution
have an understanding of integrations, databases, APIs, batch processes or similar technical environments
have an interest in Java and the modernisation of legacy systems – experience with Java is an advantage, but not a requirement
take a pragmatic and collaborative approach and are motivated by sharing your knowledge, learning from others and challenging existing solutions.
You may have a relevant educational background in Software Engineering, Computer Science or a related field, but relevant practical experience can easily compensate for a formal educational background.
The role can be shaped according to your experience and level of expertise. What matters most is your COBOL experience, technical curiosity and motivation to be part of a modernisation journey.
The opportunity to make an impact: You will join a relatively new team where you can help shape both how we collaborate and our technical direction.
An exciting technical journey: You will work with business-critical COBOL solutions while also being part of the journey to modernise them towards Java.
Professional development: You can build deep knowledge of Cash Management and gradually take on greater technical responsibility, with opportunities to develop towards roles such as Senior Developer, Lead Developer or Technical Specialist.

Bankdata builds software for the financial sector. We are a team of more than 1,000 colleagues developing digital products, platforms and infrastructure used every day by approximately one in three Danes, 200,000 businesses and several thousand bank employees.
We value structured personal growth, a close-knit community among coworkers, and the idea that people do their best when their work lives are flexible and sustainable. Learn more about working at Bankdata here.
At Bankdata, we are committed to promoting diversity among our employees. We therefore encourage everyone to apply for a position with us regardless of gender identity, age or cultural background.
We are one of the most important tech companies in Denmark as we build critical financial software for millions of users. One in three Danes, 200,000 companies and thousands of bank employees use our solutions. They log into our platform a million times a day and send 86 million transactions through our core systems.
We build, monitor, and improve powerful products that are undeniably attractive and designed to empower both businesses and individuals to make confident financial decisions. Whether it’s small, everyday transfers or major life events. Buying a new home, planning for retirement or managing wealth – can all be challenging. The digital experience need not be so, however. That’s why we focus relentlessly on delivering best-in-class user interfaces, availability and response times.
Financial infrastructure faces political scrutiny and constant attack from cybercriminals. Our customers' reputation sees red if our systems go black. Our business is therefore not for everyone. Neither we nor our customers can accept doing things half-heartedly – we always strive to deliver only the best software to the market.
Therefore, we are on a never-ending journey to become the best engineering company possible. We approach software development with an engineering mindset, believing in automation, infrastructure as code, clean code, and domain-driven design, to name a few. We take ownership of the quality of our work, integrating testing throughout the development lifecycle to ensure the reliability of our software.
In short, we love to code, and we love tough problems.
