Banco Santander is to hire 300 specialists in technology, all dedicated to building new solutions and speeding up the development of digital tools used by the bank and its customers.
The bank has already begun recruitment of new graduates and experienced professionals in leading technologies ahead of the Q3 move. The immediate focus will be on Big Data, mobile, Web, Cloud Computing, artificial intelligence and DevOps specialists.
“This is another step in our unceasing search for an ever more efficient, agile and secure digital ecosystem. To get there, we must work with the country’s best technology professionals. And nothing better than building our new technology centre in one of the main talent incubating regions in Latin America”, explained Ede Viani, deputy-chairman of Technology and Operations at Santander Brazil.
“We have transformed this space into an innovation factory, with 450 specialists already working here”, said Anderson Criativo, CEO of Onovolab. “The arrival of Santander was a pleasant urprise, as the bank has backed our project from the start, enabling us to open our account. And now we are embarking on a partnership that will help boost our growth and establish us a reference for technology in Brazil.”
With its new technology centre, Santander will be a key contributor to this equation. The bank’s robust technology structure includes the Geração Digital hub in São Paulo, and the Campinas Data Centre (SP), opened in 2014.
