Global private bank with data platform and structured solutions focus
EFG International operates as a multinational private banking group headquartered in Zürich with ~40 locations across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and the Americas. The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-plus-modern infrastructure: SWIFT, Clearstream, T24, and Oracle Fusion sit alongside Python, PySpark, Kubernetes, and a lakehouse (Delta Lake, Iceberg) — signaling active modernization of core banking systems. Active hiring skews heavily toward finance and operations roles (46 of 76 openings), with data and engineering together representing just 4 roles, yet the project list includes lakehouse pipelines and CI/CD automation, suggesting external or contractor-led infrastructure work rather than internal engineering scaling.
