Investment banks rely heavily on technology. That said, there's a lot roles in their tech department that are not programming positions. There's business analyst who interface with the business gathering requirements, project managers who guide the dev team and make sure they don't go off track, and functional analysts who convert business requirements into use cases. Theres QA engineers that manage the testing and releases of these systems. These are all technical jobs, that require candidates to who can learn and understand how large systems operate but don't necessarily need to program. It helps but not necessary.
