Indian stock broker and investment platform serving 2.1M retail and institutional investors
HDFC Securities operates a diversified investment platform across equities, derivatives, mutual funds, and fixed income, backed by a modern tech stack (Java, Go, Elixir, PostgreSQL, AWS) undergoing accelerated modernization. Active adoption of Elasticsearch, Redis, and Kafka signals a shift toward real-time data infrastructure and streaming, while the hiring mix—sales-forward but balanced with engineering and infrastructure roles—reflects simultaneous pressure to scale trading platforms and manage regulatory complexity in a high-volume, multi-channel retail operation.
