North America's largest cooperative bank modernizing payments and digital infrastructure
Desjardins is the largest cooperative financial group in North America with $435.8 billion in assets, operating across 10,000+ employees. The tech stack (Java, .NET, SQL, Oracle, Azure DevOps) reflects legacy enterprise banking infrastructure; they're adopting Databricks and Copilot Studio while managing organizational transformation and payments modernization. Hiring is sales-heavy (592 roles) and finance-focused (379), with engineering and data teams comparatively lean (64 and 41 respectively), suggesting capital and compliance dominate strategic priorities over product-led innovation.
Notable leadership hires: Java Tech Lead, Team Lead, Account Director, Application Delivery Lead, Operations and Training Director
