U.S. retail chain Walmart Inc plans to hire more than 5,000 new associates globally to its tech hubs during the current fiscal year, the company said on Tuesday.

The company’s technology unit Walmart Global Tech would be hiring for positions such as cybersecurity professional, product manager, and data scientist, among others.

The company spokeswoman said in a statement, “I am excited to share that Walmart Global Tech is doubling down on our greatest asset – our people. We are hiring more than 5,000 associates globally this fiscal year and adding hubs in Toronto and Atlanta, two cities with formidable tech talent and strong ties to Walmart.”

Currently, Walmart Global Tech includes more than 20,000 associates globally. “More technologists are choosing to build impactful careers with us, and we continue to invest in our current associates. In the last fiscal year, we grew by 26% and 20% of our team earned a promotion.” The spokeswoman added.

She further said, “This year, we’re focused on hiring cybersecurity professionals, architects, developers, software engineers, data scientists, data engineers, technical program managers, and product managers. Our growth includes entering new locations and expanding our presence in communities we call home.”

“With the addition of Atlanta and Toronto, Walmart Global Tech now has 17 hubs that span from Silicon Valley and Northwest Arkansas to Dallas and India. Our growth includes continuing to build teams in two locations we entered last year: Seattle, Washington, and Chennai, India.” She added.

Today, Walmart Global Tech develops and manages the foundational technologies on which customer experiences are built, including cloud, data, enterprise architecture, DevOps, infrastructure, and security.

In the last fiscal year, it grew by 26% and 20% of its team earned a promotion.
