Did You Know?
A leading fixed income trading platform turned to Caspian One to support its rapid growth, onboarding over 100 clients per year while ensuring its internal systems remained scalable, stable, and efficient.
This story represents Caspian One’s ability to provide top-tier engineering talent to support the rapid growth of a leading fixed income trading platform. By ensuring their internal systems remained scalable, stable, and efficient, we enabled the business to continue onboarding over 100 clients per year while maintaining seamless operations.
Our tailored resource augmentation approach allowed the platform to enhance its DevOps and post-trade development capabilities, optimising internal workflows and supporting long-term expansion in a highly competitive market.
The Challenge
Trumid, a digital fixed income trading platform, was experiencing a surge in adoption, with its client base expanding at an unprecedented rate. With 100+ clients onboarding annually, their internal technology needed to keep pace with demand while maintaining system performance.
The company required highly skilled engineers capable of optimising DevOps operations, post-trade processing, and core platform infrastructure. With such rapid scaling, they needed a solution that would not only deliver exceptional technical expertise but also ensure long-term operational resilience.
CTO Tony Schiavo, who had known Caspian One’s leadership team for over two decades, recognised the importance of finding the right talent to maintain Trumid’s high technical standards. As he put it, “Caspian are a dynamic partner that consistently finds unique ways to seize opportunities and accelerate business growth.” With that in mind, he turned to us to provide the specialised engineering expertise needed to support their next stage of expansion.
Our Approach
Caspian One worked closely with Trumid’s leadership to understand the business’s technical and cultural requirements, ensuring every placement aligned with their fast-paced work environment and strategic growth plans. Rather than simply sourcing engineers, we identified elite technologists who could enhance the platform’s long-term scalability and operational efficiency.
We placed a DevOps specialist responsible for optimising internal workflows, implementing automation, and improving developer efficiency. Alongside this, a post-trade development lead was introduced, streamlining the settlement process and ensuring that once trades were executed, the downstream processes remained seamless. Additional engineering resources strengthened the core technology platform, ensuring Trumid could continue scaling without technical bottlenecks.
The Outcome
By securing best-in-class engineers, Trumid maintained its rapid expansion without compromising performance. Their internal systems remained resilient, allowing them to continue onboarding over 100 new clients per year, while the enhancements to their post-trade infrastructure helped improve trading efficiency and processing times.
Reflecting on the partnership, Tony Schiavo highlighted Caspian One’s deep market expertise, stating,
“Our relationship team at Caspian feel more like internal advisors than an external FinTech resourcing consultancy, collaborating with us to craft, refine, and market our story to attract talented engineers who are great cultural fits too.”
This strategic alignment ensured that every hire contributed meaningfully to Trumid’s long-term success.
What This Meant for the Client:
This engagement was more than just sourcing talent - it was about ensuring Trumid had the technical foundation to sustain rapid expansion.
Caspian One became a trusted extension of their internal team, providing not just exceptional candidates but also strategic hiring insights to ensure continued success.
By securing elite engineers who understood both the technology and the fast-paced nature of financial markets, Caspian One played a key role in helping Trumid maintain its competitive edge. As Tony Schiavo put it,
“Day in and day out, Caspian sweats the small stuff, applying their deep market expertise and network to cultivate a mutually beneficial client experience.”
This commitment to excellence has helped Trumid scale with confidence, reinforcing their position as a leader in the fixed income trading space.
