[SINGAPORE] Women hoping to land a tech job at DBS Bank can apply online starting Tuesday, as the Republic’s largest bank seeks to encourage more women in Singapore to pursue careers in technology.

There are more than 50 openings available, covering 11 roles, including data engineers, scrum masters and full-stack developers, at its virtual career fair for tech women, the bank said Tuesday.

Applicants will go through an 80-minute online assessment for the roles they are applying for to assess their technical and planning capabilities.

Online assessments must be submitted by October 19.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an online recruitment day on October 31. They will learn more about the company, including its approach to gender diversity and what it’s like to build a career as a technologist at the bank. The next stage is a virtual interview.

DBS Managing Director Soh Siew Choo said that women continue to be underrepresented in the tech space globally.

Ms Soh, who is also the bank’s head of consumer banking and big data analytics technology, added that the bank wanted to proactively address this by building a portfolio of women tech in Singapore.

“We have the opportunity to lead by example and demonstrate what companies can do to foster a more gender-balanced technology workforce,” he said.

“Having balanced gender representation is also critical to our ongoing digital transformation as it enables us to leverage diverse ideas to develop differentiated and exceptional experiences for our clients,” he added.
