Visa Inc.
, the global leader in payments, today announced that it
will strengthen its technology resources by creating 2,000 full-time
technologist positions. These positions will be a combination of new roles and
existing contractor positions that are being converted to full-time positions.
Visa also plans to open a new technology center in India. The combination of
these initiatives will help accelerate the shift to electronic payments and
drive innovation in mobile and digital platforms.
Visa plans to recruit professional technologists, many in specialized areas,
to enhance its teams in India, Singapore and four U.S. locations. Recruitment
efforts, which are currently underway and will continue through 2017, will
focus on a range of technology needs spanning data scientists, engineers,
platform architects and mobile developers.
“Visa is fortunate to already have some of the most accomplished and motivated
industry technologists at the company today,” said Rajat Taneja, Visa's
executive vice president of technology. “This investment allows us to
strengthen our talent pool globally, and bring more of it in-house, providing
greater opportunity for professionals to grow their careers with the
technology payments leader.”
In 2015, the company plans to open a new technology development center in
India. Teams there will focus on the development of key application
programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), helping an
expanding group of global partners to more easily access VisaNet when creating
new commerce and payment experiences. The first set of these new developer
tools will be publicly released before the end of 2014.
Visa is also bolstering its technology talent in Austin, Texas and the San
Francisco Bay Area, and will focus some of these positions in support of its
two world-class data centers in Ashburn, Virginia, and Denver, Colorado.
“Visa's size and scale allows technologists to work on meaningful initiatives
that have the ability to change how commerce is conducted for millions of
consumers and companies globally,” said Taneja. “We are looking for creative,
entrepreneurial tech professionals who want to build the next generation of
payment products and platforms, will bring engineering insights to our global
processing network, and are passionate about partnering with technology and
commerce leaders shaping the payments experience.”
Roll-out of New Visa Technology Initiatives
Over the last month, Visa has announced aggressive plans to deliver Visa
Digital Solutions, a comprehensive suite of offerings that will facilitate
secure payments across a broad range of Internet-connected devices and
wearables. Additionally, the company introduced Visa Checkout, a quick and
easy payment service that allows consumers to pay for goods online, on any
device, in just a few clicks. The service is currently offered in the U.S. and
Canada and will also be available in Australia later this year.
Visa recently opened a 112,000-square foot innovation center, One Market, at
its new office space in San Francisco. One Market is specifically designed to
enable Visa technologists, clients, partners and the Bay Area tech community
to co-develop the next generation of commerce applications.
