AI Engineer

We opened the doors of our Business Development Centre (BDC) in the heart of Hyderabad in December 2020. Young at heart, the BDC is a wonderful space that strengthens Backbase’s presence in the APAC region. The physical presence of great talent and support also makes way for long-term relationships with customers.

Nestled in the middle of Hyderabad, the state-of-the-art building sits amidst other global brands. The location offers stunning views of hills and lakes, while nearby there is a selection of restaurants, traditional bazaars, and other cultural hotspots.

The work is the standard

We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks. We raise the bar because we've seen what's possible when you don't settle.
