Alibaba recently officially launched the 2026 Spring Intern Recruitment Plan. The total number of jobs opened this time is more than 3,000, of which positions related to artificial intelligence (AI) account for nearly 50%. This data not only reflects Alibaba's high attention to AI technology, but also reflects its in-depth layout of technological innovation in future development strategies. Especially in some core business departments, the proportion of AI positions is more prominent. For example, the proportion of AI positions in Gaode Map reaches about 65%, while Alibaba Cloud exceeds 80%. These figures clearly show that Alibaba is accelerating the application and implementation of AI technology in various business fields.
This spring recruitment covers several important departments such as Alibaba Holding Group, Alibaba Cloud, Gaode, Tongyi Laboratory, Ele.me and Lingxi Interactive Entertainment. In addition, recruitment from departments such as Taotian, Alibaba International and Cainiao will also be launched one after another. Compared with previous years, Alibaba still maintains its core position in technical positions in spring recruitment, but this year's recruitment focus is more on the AI field. This change not only matches the development trend of the global technology industry, but also demonstrates Alibaba's leading advantage in the research and development and application of AI technology.
In fact, Alibaba's investment in AI technology has already begun. As early as February 19, Alibaba's AI To C business launched large-scale recruitment, with hundreds of related positions, of which 90% were AI technology and product research and development positions. These new employees will focus on the development and application of cutting-edge technologies such as text, multimodal large models and AI Agent. Products under Alibaba's AI To C business system, such as Quark and Tmall Genie, have achieved remarkable results in the market, demonstrating the company's strong strength and broad prospects in the application of consumer-oriented AI technology.
The scale and direction of Alibaba's spring recruitment this time not only provides rich career development opportunities for fresh graduates, but also builds a broad platform for technical talents in the AI field. With the continuous advancement of AI technology and the expansion of application scenarios, Alibaba's layout in the AI field will be further deepened, injecting strong impetus into the company's future development.
