Got the boot from Musk or Zuck? Automaker has 800 techie vacancies to fill
Jaguar Land Rover, the famed UK-based automaker, is looking to fill a long list of tech and engineering vacancies by appealing to victims of the recent round of Silicon Valley layoffs.
In a statement published on Friday, the company, owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group since 2008, said it was looking to fill openings by creating a new jobs portal for displaced workers from the tech industry to « explore career opportunities, offering hybrid working patterns. »
Roles it is looking to fill include those in autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, electrification, cloud software, data science, machine learning, and more. The company said it was becoming « a digital-first and data-driven organization » in the statement.
The overtures come as the tech industry hemorrhages staff. Facebook owner Meta is laying off more than 11,000 employees, thousands have exited Twitter, and Amazon says it could shed 10,000 corporate and technology jobs.
