Jiangsu Rural Commercial United Bank recently issued a social recruitment notice, seeking middle-level managers and staff across multiple departments, including technology-focused divisions like the Product R&D Department, Data Asset Department, and Information Technology Department.
The bank is recruiting a head for the Data Asset Department, who must be under 45 years old, with previous recruitment for tech (R&D) department heads also noted. According to the firm, the middle-level management roles include heads for the Business Management Department (Inclusive Finance), Retail Management Department, Financial Markets Department, Data Asset Department, and Operations Management Department, all requiring candidates aged 45 or below.

Additionally, the tech departments are hiring for multiple roles, with the Product R&D Department, Data Asset Department, and Information Technology Department offering 10, 9, and 4 positions respectively. The Product R&D Department seeks roles like application security engineer, quality control engineer, project management engineer, architect (demand management), software development engineer (AI application development), software development engineer (platform development), senior software development engineer (platform), software development engineer (core system), software testing engineer (functional testing), and software development engineer. The Data Asset Department is hiring for senior AI development engineer, senior data architecture manager, AI development engineer, data service roles (demand analysis, external data management, report development), senior data service engineer, application development senior engineer, data development roles (data warehouse, real-time data development, model design), digital finance expert (product manager), and senior product operations manager. AI development engineer positions cover application development, model optimization, knowledge engineering, and front-end and back-end development. The Information Technology Department seeks roles in security management, system management, database management, and network management.
This is not the first time the bank has publicly recruited tech management. In November last year, Jiangsu Rural Commercial United Bank posted social recruitment ads for middle-level managers, including tech (R&D) department heads and data asset department heads, also under 45, with similar requirements for the data asset department head. It is noteworthy that behind these repeated recruitments, the bank has been operational for just over a year. Earlier this year, its CIO was promoted to deputy president, and alongside management changes, the bank has launched multiple digital projects to accelerate digital transformation.
Why focus on just 10 ASX 200 shares?
The bank is pushing for the fusion of technology systems among rural commercial banks within its system, aiming to reuse the same core business system group. In late March last year, Jiangsu Rural Commercial United Bank was approved to open, with its CIO Li Jian also approved on the same day. Li Jian previously served as the chief information officer of Jiangsu Provincial Rural Credit Union and earlier as the general manager of its Product R&D Department. In January this year, Li Jian was promoted to deputy president of the bank. As the tech leader rose, the bank launched multiple digital projects this year, focusing on financial cloud, data capabilities, and the integration and reuse of core business system groups among rural commercial banks.
On July 28, the bank's financial cloud platform on-site and technical support service project was finalized, with Beijing ShenzhouXinqiao Technology Co., Ltd. winning a 6.113 million yuan bid. The project involves hiring six original equipment manufacturer engineers for on-site services and 1,181 person-days of on-site technical support. The day after the financial cloud human resources service procurement was settled, the bank initiated a cloud platform basic software operations support service project, hiring six on-site engineers for operations support, assisting with SUSE OS, VMware virtualization, Zabbix monitoring, and industry cloud technical support. The financial cloud platform is a key cloud computing infrastructure for the digital era, and in digital transformation, data is not only fuel for AI applications but also a prerequisite for digitization.
The bank is focusing on data analysis capabilities and talent training. In early July, it launched a data processing link analysis system project research, covering operator-level data lineage parsing support, data lineage graph building and visualization, SQL intelligent auditing, and operator-level lineage data asset inventory. Earlier, in late April, it issued a 2026 data analysis modeling training project supplier solicitation, planning to train about 100 employees from July to August, covering topics like data analysis and modeling basics, multidimensional data perspective and standardization, statistical analysis and hypothesis testing, advanced regression analysis and dimensionality reduction, cluster analysis and recommendation strategies, decision trees and ensemble algorithms, anomaly detection and time series analysis, root cause analysis and digital methods, risk control model strategies and project drills, and data analysis modeling practice. Earlier, it started a data architecture design and lake-house fusion optimization PMO service supplier solicitation.
As the main entity of Jiangsu's rural credit reform, Jiangsu Rural Commercial United Bank has integrated rural credit institutions in the province at the equity level, but operationally, especially in the digital era, breaking down system barriers among multiple banks within the system is crucial. This is likely a key focus for the bank's digital capability deployment. In early April, the bank's rural commercial bank core system group fusion consulting project indicated plans to rely on the united bank's new generation core system, core loan business platform, accounting platform, and financial management system to achieve province-wide reuse of the same core business system group. The core business system fusion scope includes but is not limited to deposit core, loan core, accounting, and finance modules. The bank's talent layout for tech system fusion may have started earlier. In March, the bank's development dedicated resource pool platform system and innovation fusion dedicated human resources package procurement project announced finalists, with 12 selected for Package 1 (platform system) and 4 for Package 2 (innovation fusion). Package 2 primarily serves the province's rural commercial bank tech system innovation fusion, involving systems like core business systems, accounting platforms, and core loan business platforms.
