Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
We are pleased to witness your fervour and enthusiasm towards Deen. We ask Allah Ta’ala to grant you prosperity in this world and the hereafter, Ameen.
We understand from your query that you are a software professional for the company Cognizant Technology Solution. You are appointed by them to do maintenance and work on the software technologies of the Rabobank. If this is your job, there is nothing impermissible in this. If the Rabobank uses any of your software technologies for un-Islamic activities, you will not be accountable. You are merely providing a service for them and they will be responsible if they misuse your software technologies.
And Allah knows best
