PHOENIX, Feb. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MUFG, the world's 5th largest financial group with total assets of approximately $2.8 trillion and backed by 360 years of history and a global network of about 2,700 offices in over 50 markets with over 180,000 employees, expects to hire more than 500 technology experts and operations specialists in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area this year. This significant investment in talent, technologies, and tools is aligned with MUFG's expansion and growth plans and is a key part of the bank's technological and cultural transformation that is focused on putting clients and their changing needs first.

"As we transform our capabilities and enhance the user experience to create integrated digital and mobile banking tools, we are looking for strong technology professionals in the Phoenix market who have the technical experience to guide the bank on its journey to a cloud-first, microservice-based, real time platform," said Dave Harden, Head of Core Banking Technology Transformation. "Jobs will include cyber security, cloud, infrastructure, security, and data engineers, as well as analysts and application developers."

"With a rapidly growing tech sector, we have been hiring colleagues in the local area for the past several years and are committed to continuing our build out," Shane said. "We look forward to furthering our partnerships within the community and continuing to attract key talent to be part of our growing team."

The Phoenix metro area also continues to be a key hub for MUFG operations teams and is central to the group's location strategy. Opportunities are available with Core Banking Operations & Transformation, Retail Loan Processing & Underwriting, Fraud Operations, and Electronic Banking & Wire Services departments.
