Not to mention that many firms still accept orders from their clients by phone\u2014or support voice trading over electronic trading\u2014which is unsuitable for capturing swift market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those complex foundations have turned into a tangled mess of legacy code that stifles growth. But worse than that, it has exposed institutions to additional risks and liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How bad is it? There are real-life tales of trading firms having to call retired engineers back into work to make sense of their archaic, homegrown systems. No wonder keeping up with Silicon Valley&#8217;s fast pace feels impossible. Then there\u2019s the talent war. Trading firms, long-established exchanges, emerging fintech disruptors\u2014they&#8217;re all battling for the same small pool of trading tech experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you win? How can you break free from technical debt and modernize systems?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019re covering sustainable, future-proof solutions to bridge the tech talent gap while empowering your trading platform with cutting-edge capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recognizing-the-gap-in-technical-expertise\">Recognizing the gap in technical expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, competition is fierce with asset managers and investment banks vying with tech giants for architects, data scientists, QA engineers, project managers, business analysts, software developers, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building advanced platforms requires an extensive, multidisciplinary team. They\u2019ll likely be specialists in different stacks like Java, .NET, Go, Python, Node.js, Kotlin, Swift, and Objective-C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These professionals must have the ability to build robust systems capable of handling immense transaction volumes with split-second execution and zero tolerance for errors or downtime. Securing talent with this specialized blend of skills is becoming increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the trading technology ecosystem demands more than just coding prowess\u2014it also requires specific expertise in areas like regulatory compliance, data security standards, and the complex financial instruments being traded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research from McKinsey revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/to-emerge-stronger-from-the-covid-19-crisis-companies-should-start-reskilling-their-workforces-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">87%<\/a> of executives are experiencing skill gaps in their financial services workforce, while research by UK Finance found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukfinance.org.uk\/news-and-insight\/blogs\/skills-and-talent-financial-services-impact-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30%<\/a> of the sector\u2019s employees felt they needed more digital\/tech expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shortage poses multiple risks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slow operations: <\/strong>The absence of skilled personnel can fundamentally undermine a firm&#8217;s ability to operate efficiently. In the high-stakes environment of financial trading, where milliseconds can translate to significant gains or losses, the impact of not having skilled developers to maintain and enhance trading systems can be catastrophic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technical and competitive stagnation:<\/strong> A shortage of technical talent can lead to stagnation in technological advancements, resulting in firms falling behind their more agile competitors who are better equipped to adapt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory and compliance: <\/strong>Essential functions such as trade monitoring, surveillance, reporting, and auditing increasingly rely on sophisticated technology. The lack of proficient professionals to implement these technologies can compromise a firm\u2019s compliance with regulations and damage client trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To sum up:<\/strong> Firms are facing increased pressure to explore alternative resourcing models to acquire and retain technological skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is there are viable options to address the skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overcoming-the-skills-gap\">Overcoming the skills gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to plug the talent shortage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-managing-in-house-full-stack-engineers\">Managing in-house full-stack engineers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building elite in-house technical teams for trading infrastructure carries an often underestimated price tag. The salaries required to attract top talent are steep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, comprehensive benefits, continuous training on emerging technologies, equipment, and coveted workplace perks like office meals, gym memberships, and other well-being and leisure incentives rapidly inflate the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the direct expenditures, trading firms must nurture a culture that enhances productivity and appeals to developer demands like work-life balance and professional growth opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From cultivating the right environment to offering premium amenities, these indirect costs are substantial in recruiting and retaining an engineering workforce. While in-house teams offer control and dedication, the full financial outlay and cultural investments can be staggering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s look at the alternative resourcing option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leveraging-external-technology-partnerships\">Leveraging external technology partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pivoting to external partnerships unlocks access to specialized skills and capabilities that are scarce and expensive to facilitate internally. On top of this, they provide multiple key benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce overheads associated with continuous recruitment, training, and retention of a comprehensive in-house engineering workforce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexibly scale up or down as project needs fluctuate\u2014something difficult with permanent staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gain fresh perspectives and a diversity of experience, sparking new ideas and avoiding the trap of the insular echo chambers.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overcoming-outsourcing-hesitations\">Overcoming outsourcing hesitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the benefits of outsourcing development work are compelling, one common concern puts businesses off:<strong> Difficulty integrating outsiders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common apprehension is the perceived challenge of onboarding external teams and integrating them into the ecosystems and operations unique to the exchange\/brokerage space. There are valid fears that the time and effort required to get outsiders up to speed could negate the potential efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution here is to opt for a software development company specializing in financial technology, such as banking applications. Their teams can be onboarded quickly without a long learning curve of investment portfolio interface and order processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-specialization-advantage\">The specialization advantage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialized <a href=\"https:\/\/devexperts.com\/financial-software-development\/\">financial software providers<\/a>\u2014like Devexperts\u2014successfully master regulatory demands, cybersecurity priorities, and the mission-critical need for high performance, low-latency throughput, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, these firms can hit the ground running with a deep understanding of trading technology essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Actually, there have been a few cases when a small group of Devexperts architects and engineers were invited to clients\u2019 offices for a discovery phase for 2-3 days, and they stayed for the whole week because our engineers ran an audit and taught the client what elements in their technology are missing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-case-study-building-and-launching-a-us-regulated-futures-options-exchange-from-the-ground-up\">Case study: Building and launching a US-regulated futures options exchange from the ground up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This example features a futures and options exchange launched in 2020 in the US.
