Latin America's largest investment bank modernizing legacy systems to cloud
BTG Pactual Chile is the local subsidiary of Latin America's largest investment bank, operating across investment banking, corporate lending, trading, wealth management, and asset management. The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-to-modern transition: heavy use of SQL, Python, Excel/VBA, and SQL Server alongside newer cloud infrastructure (AWS, FastAPI, .NET). Current hiring is heavily skewed toward junior finance roles (intern-heavy, with finance dominating department mix), suggesting cost-conscious scaling on the operations side while executing a microservices migration and process automation agenda.
