Retail and corporate banking with digital-first operations across Georgia and Eastern Europe
Bank of Georgia is a 5,000+ person regional banking incumbent operating retail, corporate, and wealth management lines, owned by Lion Finance Group (FTSE 100 constituent). The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-to-modern architecture: Oracle and PL/SQL for core banking, but with real-time data and ML heavy lifting now on Apache Spark, Airflow, Kubernetes, and AWS. The hiring mix—operations-heavy (51 roles open), followed by sales (42) and finance (32), with only 4 engineering spots—signals a bank managing scale through process and compliance rather than product innovation, while data (7 open) and ML portfolio work suggest emerging AI-driven risk modeling.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Service, Tribe Lead
