Walmart is accelerating its global tech expansion by adding two new hubs that will rise in Atlanta and Toronto. The retail giant also revealed it would be hiring more than 5,000 workers that will be assigned the new tech centers.
Walmart said on Tuesday, March 15, that it is looking for thousands of new associates worldwide and planning to hire them within this year. All of them will be hired to work at Walmart Global Tech, the firm’s technology unit, and across Walmart’s business, including customer experience, associates, and back-end systems such as the supply chain.
As per Reuters, some of the positions that Walmart Global Tech is in need of include product managers, data scientists, and cybersecurity professionals. And with the addition of two tech hubs in Atlanta and Toronto, the number of Walmart’s similar facilities will climb up to 16. Some of the other locations are in Silicon Valley, Arkansas, Dallas, and Bangalore in India.
In any case, the company’s tech unit is now employing more than 20,000 associates around the world. Walmart said that tech professionals are choosing to build their careers with the company because it never stops investing in its associates. In fact, the firm said that last year, its team grew 26%, and around 20% of the staff have been promoted.
The expansions in two locations will allow Walmart to find diverse talent that can grow with them as well. The two states were chosen as they are fast becoming a center for tech businesses.
“I am always in awe of how many lives and communities are changed by the work we do at Walmart. The cutting-edge tech we build makes life better for customers and members further empower our associates and unlock new value for our business,” Walmart Inc.’s executive vice president, chief technology officer and chief development officer, Suresh Kumar, wrote in a blog post.
The executive further said, “This year, we’re focused on hiring cybersecurity professionals, architects, developers, software engineers, data scientists, data engineers, technical program managers, and product managers. Our growth includes entering new locations and expanding our presence in communities we call home.”
