Embedded investment platform for financial advisers and wealth managers
Seccl operates an API-first investment platform serving financial planners and wealth managers, handling millions of requests daily across approaching 1 million investor portfolios. The tech stack is heavily AWS-serverless (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, Fargate) with TypeScript/Node.js and MongoDB, indicating a cloud-native, event-driven architecture optimized for scale. Current hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineering (7 of 22 roles), operations, and product—signaling active infrastructure buildout alongside expansion into European trading and next-generation custody models.
