DBS plans to hire around 150 of Singapore’s top technology talent through its Hack2Hire hackathon to bolster its AI and blockchain capabilities.
Following a year-long hiatus due to Covid-19, DBS Hack2Hire will enable candidates to meet like-minded technologists and participate in challenges during a virtual hackathon to assess their technical and problem-solving capabilities.
Successful candidates will be invited for a final interview during the same event.
In its fourth edition, DBS Hack2Hire aims to fill positions across 14 developer and engineering roles as the bank scales up its use of artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) and blockchain technologies.
To provide applicants with a peek into life at DBS, the bank is organising a virtual Hack2Hire Festival in October. This comprises a series of talks covering topics such as the DBS innovation engine, emerging technologies and the future of work and workspaces.
Those interested to apply for DBS Hack2Hire are invited to register and complete the online technical challenge before 17 October 2021.
