Canada's payment network connecting 300+ financial institutions
Interac operates the backbone of Canada's digital payment ecosystem, handling 18 million transactions daily across a network of nearly 300 financial institutions. The tech stack reveals a mature, regulated infrastructure built on Java, Spring Boot, Oracle, and AWS, with heavy investment in operational resilience (Splunk, Dynatrace, Commvault for observability and disaster recovery). Current hiring is concentrated in engineering and security roles at senior/lead levels, while active adoption of API management tools (Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway) and ServiceNow signals a multi-year push toward platform modernization and infrastructure automation.
