Alibaba officially announced the launch of its 2026 Spring Internship recruitment drive, offering over 3000 positions. Nearly 50% of these roles are related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In some business units, the proportion of AI positions is even higher, reaching approximately 65% at AutoNavi (Gaode) and exceeding 80% at Alibaba Cloud. This significant shift reflects Alibaba's growing emphasis on AI technology.
This spring recruitment encompasses various departments, including Alibaba Group Holding, Alibaba Cloud, AutoNavi, Tongyi Lab, Ele.me, and Lynx. Taobao Tmall, Alibaba International, and Cainiao will also open their recruitment processes later. Similar to last year, Alibaba maintains its focus on technical roles but shows a much stronger emphasis on AI-related positions this spring.
It's understood that on February 19th, Alibaba's AI To C business launched a large-scale recruitment drive for hundreds of positions, with 90% dedicated to AI technology and product development. These new hires will concentrate on developing and applying cutting-edge technologies such as text, multi-modal large models, and AI Agents. Products under Alibaba's AI To C business, including Quark and Tmall Genie, demonstrate the company's ambition in consumer-facing AI applications.
