The Cloud Team is part of Digital Engineering Services within the Corporate Technology division at MUFG Securities. As AI adoption accelerates across our business lines, we are evolving from a traditional cloud infrastructure function into a diverse engineering capability focused on enabling scalable, sustainable AI solutions.
To effectively scale AI adoption and enhance our functional offerings across a dynamic and evolving environment, we are expanding the team with engineers who combine strong cloud expertise with robust software engineering skills. These engineers will help define and deliver next‑generation cloud patterns, automation frameworks, and AI‑driven solutions that meet MUFG’s governance, security, and regulatory needs.
You will join a small, dynamic team of engineers working across Azure, Oracle Cloud, and AWS (as it is onboarded), building secure, repeatable cloud and AI foundations that underpin our critical banking services.
