Your future in Bejing

Beijing is China’s massive capital with a history dating back 3 millennia.

Yet it is known as much for its modern architecture as its ancient sites such as the Forbidden City complex, the Imperial Palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Nearby, is the massive Tiananmen Square pedestrian plaza is the site of Mao Zedong’s mausoleum and the National Museum of China displaying a vast collection of cultural relics.

Beijing’s economy ranks among the most developed and prosperous in China. Due to the concentration of state owned enterprises in Beijing the city has more Fortune Global 500 Company Headquarters than any other city in the world.

Employers in Beijing are looking for Banking Technologists for payment businesses, software developers, data engineers, and user experience and product talent.

The Automotive sector is another area that there is huge demand for Talent and roles currently available through Back 4 Good include Talent working in areas such as connected vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems with Beijing looking for overseas talent to fill these positions.
