AIA is the largest independent publicly listed life insurer across Asia (ex-Japan), operating in 18 markets with $328B in total assets. The tech stack reveals a traditional enterprise foundation (SAP, Workday, ServiceNow) layered with modern data capabilities (Databricks, Python, Informatica, Power BI), and active hiring in data and engineering signals a push toward ML and analytics — backed by projects around scalable ML models and advanced analytics across the group. However, sales and finance dominate the open roles (68% of active hires), reflecting operational execution priorities in a traditionally sales-driven insurance model.
