Ant Group launches hiring push, 85% of roles in tech with heightened AI focus

On March 10, 2026, Ant Group officially launched its 2026 Spring Campus Recruitment. As a leader in fintech and AI applications in China, this year's recruitment targets send a clear signal: Full commitment to AI, with no restrictions on qualifications.

Tech-focused: 85% of roles are technical, with 70% centered on AI

Among the spring recruitment positions, technical roles account for 85% of the total. Even more notable, over 70% of these roles are directly in the artificial intelligence domain. Recruitment priorities cover key areas such as large language model algorithms, multimodal generation, data intelligence, infrastructure development, and AI security.

According to East Money Network, Ant has kept technical positions above 80% for six consecutive years. This year's AI focus has reached a new high, reflecting strong commitment to pursuing AGI.

'Two Flowers' strategy takes off: AI-native products both exceed one billion users

Ant Group CEO Han Xinyi once described the company's AI vision as "Money to Spend" and "Life to Spend." During the recent Spring Festival (Year of the Horse), this strategy delivered impressive results:

AI Pay: The world's first AI-native payment product, with both user count and transaction volume surpassing one billion.

Ant Afu: Leveraging powerful health management capabilities, its user base quickly surpassed 100 million, securing its place as the world's largest AI application.

Breaking down qualification barriers: Hunting for the next generation of tech leaders

To attract top talent, Ant Group has launched an AI Talent Special Program under its renowned "Ant Star" initiative. Here, qualifications are not a barrier, and outstanding new graduates can lead technical directions.

A typical example is Zhang, who joined through campus recruitment in 2016 and now serves as Technical Director of the Basic Intelligence Department, overseeing core systems including the Bai Ling large language model Ling. This "talent knows no background" cultivation model has helped Ant rank among Forbes China's Best Employers for four consecutive years.

Global footprint: From Hangzhou to San Francisco, everyone is needed

Recruitment locations include not only major Chinese cities like Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, but also global tech hubs such as San Francisco and London. For students graduating between November 2025 and October 2027, whether from domestic or overseas institutions, this is a prime opportunity to ride the AI wave.

As technological innovation becomes the engine of employment, Ant aims to build a future AGI talent hub through this large-scale spring recruitment. If you are passionate about technology, this AI journey could be your next destination.
