The hiring mix—finance (396 roles), engineering (146), and security (112)—reflects the operational complexity of running regulatory reporting (HKMA), AML model development, and financial crimes compliance across 40+ markets while managing legacy system dependencies. Active projects center on data governance, SIEM implementation, and policy enforcement rather than product innovation.
