Modern transfer agency platform replacing legacy financial software
ZILO operates a transfer agency platform built on polyglot cloud infrastructure (Django, FastAPI, React, Postgres, MongoDB, Kafka, Go) targeting firms running 30+-year-old legacy systems. The tech stack shape—heavy backend diversity (Django, FastAPI, Java, Go, Flink) plus financial-grade orchestration (Kafka, Step Functions, Kubernetes)—reflects active work on high-performance services and microservices architecture. Active hiring skews engineering-heavy (7 of 10 roles) at mid-to-senior levels, with concurrent projects spanning disaster recovery, AI-assisted development, and tokenization—indicating a company scaling both product depth and regional footprint.
ZILO builds transfer agency software for asset and wealth management firms, positioned as a modern alternative to legacy systems developed decades ago. Founded in 2020 and based in London, the company operates with 51–200 employees and is actively hiring across engineering, design, product, and sales in the UK and Thailand. The platform operates as a suite of interconnected services: a core transfer agency engine, a tokenization and fund servicing layer, and supporting microservices for financial operations. Current focus spans performance optimization, disaster recovery, regional expansion, and replacing end-of-life infrastructure at incumbent firms.
