Global share registry and transfer agent platform with financial services operations
Equiniti operates a large-scale financial services infrastructure business spanning share registration, pension administration, and HR benefits across 5,000+ employees worldwide. The stack reflects a hybrid modernization pattern: heavy AWS adoption (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway) alongside legacy on-prem systems, with active projects in zero-trust networking and cloud migration signaling security and infrastructure hardening. Hiring skews engineering-forward (27 roles) relative to ops, indicating either engineering-capacity constraints during cloud transition or investment in platform automation.
