(MENAFN- QNA) Global payments technology company Visa Inc has announced new plans to speed up the shift to electronic payments, and drive innovation in mobile and digital platforms.
The company said it will achieve this 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 plans to recruit professional technologists, many in specialized areas, to enhance its teams in India, Singapore and four US 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 also plans to open in 2015 a new technology development centre 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.
Visa's executive vice president of technology Rajat Taneja said, "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."
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 centres in Ashburn, Virginia, and Denver, Colorado.
Visa recently opened a 112,000-square foot innovation centre, One Market, at its new office space in San Francisco.
