Financial Services & Fintech Recruitment

Compliance Ready Code.

Specialized recruiting partner for Canadian banks, fintechs and insurance firms.

In fintech, 'move fast and break things' is a liability.

Audit-Ready Interviews

Fintech Engineering Roles & Market Data

Tech Recruiting for Finance

Choose a discipline to see the roles, skills, and market signals we hire for.

The Engine Room of Finance.

In trading and banking, milliseconds equal millions. We place engineers who understand concurrency, memory management, and thread safety. It's not simply writing code; it's building fault-tolerant engines that never sleep.

Key Technologies:
Java (Spring Boot) C++ 14/17 Rust Python (Quant) Microservices
Recruiter Insight
“For these roles, we test heavily on system design. Knowing the syntax isn't enough; candidates need to explain how they handle race conditions in a distributed environment.”

Intelligence at Scale.

Modern finance is a data arms race. Whether it’s algorithmic fraud detection or regulatory reporting (Basel III), we find the talent that turns petabytes of transaction data into actionable risk intelligence.

Key Technologies:
Apache Kafka Spark TensorFlow Snowflake ETL Pipelines
Recruiter Insight
“The unicorn candidate here is so much more than a data scientist; it's the ML Engineer who can take a model from a Jupyter notebook and deploy it into a production pipeline.”

Security is the Product.

Moving to the cloud in a regulated industry requires a different breed of engineer. We specialise in DevSecOps talent that builds automated guardrails, ensuring that speed never compromises PII, PCI-DSS, or OSFI compliance.

Key Technologies:
AWS (PrivateLink) Azure Kubernetes Terraform (IaC) Vault
Recruiter Insight
“We look for Policy-as-Code experience. If a candidate can automate compliance checks into the CI/CD pipeline, they are an strong consideration for our banking clients.”

Bridge the Old Core to the New Stack.

The hardest job in banking is changing the tires while the car is moving. We find senior strategists and engineers who can manage between Mainframe/COBOL cores and modern cloud-native interfaces without disrupting critical services.

Key Technologies:
COBOL Db2 IBM z/OS API Gateways Strangler Fig Pattern
Recruiter Insight
“These are hybrid roles. We look for bridge talent—architects who speak both the language of the mainframe and the cloud.”
