Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
Descending through FL280 in VFR conditions on the Hiley 7 Joray transition into MIA; we encountered wake turbulence. Aircraft rolled left about 20-30 degrees. Autopilot remained on. We advised ATC and were told we were 17 miles in trail of an Airbus A330.  Second encounter was just after we started to descend from 16;000 ft. Again; the aircraft rolled left to almost 45 degrees and I disconnected the autopilot to roll wings level. I stopped the descent and once again advised ATC. At this point they vectored us off the STAR with no further encounters. No injuries or damage.
