AWS and financial services consulting for cloud migration and data governance
Vertical Relevance is a 51–200-person consulting firm focused on financial services transformation, with heavy emphasis on AWS infrastructure and data platforms. The tech stack reveals deep AWS-native engineering (Lambda, Glue, SageMaker, EMR, Kinesis) paired with security tooling (Vault, Dynatrace) and modern infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation). Hiring velocity is decelerating (3 roles in 30 days) while maintaining a senior-heavy mix (11 of 14 open roles are senior-level), suggesting a focus on high-touch delivery over scaling headcount.
Vertical Relevance advises financial services firms and other regulated industries on AWS cloud adoption, data architecture, and digital transformation. Founded in 2015, the firm operates from New York and combines industry consulting with deep technical delivery across cloud infrastructure, data platforms (Snowflake, AWS Glue, SageMaker), and security compliance automation. Core projects center on building AWS data lakes, implementing governance frameworks, automating security controls, and re-architecting legacy applications to cloud-native models. The consulting model is reinforced by partnerships with AWS and ServiceNow.
AWS is the primary platform (Lambda, Glue, SageMaker, EMR, Kinesis, SNS). Secondary use of Azure, GCP, and Azure DevOps. Terraform and CloudFormation handle infrastructure-as-code.
