Capital markets trading platform serving banks, funds, and exchanges
Trading Technologies operates a multi-asset SaaS platform for derivatives, FX, fixed income, and crypto trading across major global exchanges. The tech stack is polyglot and cloud-native—Python, Go, C++, Kafka, Spark, and AWS services dominate—with active adoption of Backstage and migration away from VMware, indicating infrastructure modernization. Internal challenges center on legacy system maintenance and global platform stability, while hiring skews toward senior engineers and recent leadership additions in business development suggest either post-acquisition integration or a strategic pivot toward new verticals.
