Nordic banking group modernizing legacy systems with cloud and AI
Danske Bank is replacing decades-old mainframe languages (COBOL, PL/I, DB2, SAS) with Python, Java, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Databricks). The hiring surge—122 roles posted in 30 days across engineering, data, and security—reflects an aggressive modernization agenda: migrating ETL to cloud, building ML models (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Langchain), deploying Copilot Studio chatbots, and overhauling validation and fraud detection. This is a large financial institution in active technical transformation, not incremental upgrades.
Notable leadership hires: Chapter Lead, Red Team Lead, Risk Analyst Lead
