Why STACK IT

In finance, a wrong hire shows up in the audit.

Money movement, customer data and uptime sit under real regulatory scrutiny. We screen for the discipline that environment demands on top of the stack that matches on paper.

Built for regulated ground

Candidates who have shipped under OSFI, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and PIPEDA, and understand why the controls and the paper trail exist.

Real-time by default

People who treat payments, trading and core banking as low-latency, always-on systems where downtime and drift are not options.

Security in the bloodstream

Finance is among the most-attacked sectors there is. We prioritize people who build as if an attacker is already inside.

Screened on controls, and on code

Our fintech recruitment screen asks what they were not allowed to do, who approved releases, and how a change touching customer money got signed off.

Domain fluency

Fintech recruiters who know the terrain already.

Fintech recruitment only works when the recruiter already speaks the stack, so you should not have to explain it from scratch. We staff across the systems, standards and constraints that define financial technology.

  • Payments & core banking

    Card rails, ledgers, real-time payments

  • Risk & compliance

    OSFI, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, AML/KYC

  • Security & fraud

    Threat detection, zero-trust

  • Data & analytics

    Risk, reporting, regulatory data

  • Integration

    Open banking, APIs, partner rails

  • Cloud & resilience

    Regulated cloud, HA and DR

FAQ

Hiring financial tech, answered.

It screens for the environment as hard as the stack. A payments engineer who has shipped under PCI scope, a data engineer who has handled PII inside a regulated pipeline, and an SRE who has run an always-on ledger all read the same on a resume as their unregulated equivalents. The difference shows up in an audit or an incident. We ask about the controls they worked inside, what they were not allowed to do, and how releases actually got approved.

Both, and the searches run differently. Bank hiring tends to move through longer approval chains with clearance-style checks and a stronger pull toward candidates who have worked in the same regulatory posture. Fintech hiring moves faster and trades some of that for product velocity, which changes who says yes. Fintech recruiters who only know one side tend to misjudge notice periods and counteroffers on the other.

Wherever the role calls for it, yes. We prioritize candidates who have worked inside banks, fintechs or payments and understand regulated, real-time environments, while still surfacing strong engineers who can ramp quickly when domain depth matters less.

We screen for relevant exposure and can prioritize candidates who have built and shipped under the regulatory and security regimes your systems fall under, from audit trails to change control.

Security and data roles top the list, given the regulatory and real-time demands of the sector. We regularly place cybersecurity engineers, data engineers, and backend specialists for banks, fintechs, and payments firms, where the bar is production reliability under audit.

Yes. Toronto is the centre of Canadian financial-services tech, so we recruit heavily into the Toronto market and its surrounding hubs, while also supporting remote and hybrid roles for firms hiring beyond the core.

Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day guarantee, so a hire that does not stick is one we make right.
