Regional bank modernizing ops through automation and cloud migration
Huntington is a $210B regional bank in the middle of a technology transition: migrating from legacy IBM WebSphere toward Kubernetes and GCP, adopting RPA platforms (Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, UiPath), and building API-first infrastructure (Apigee, Pub/Sub, BigQuery). The hiring velocity is accelerating, with finance and sales roles dominating but engineering capacity growing—a classic pattern for banks scaling automation and digital channels while managing legacy compliance burden.
Notable leadership hires: Warehouse Lending Director, Lead Generation Specialist, Managing Director, Tech Lead, Dispute Services Process Lead
