The problem

Engineers joining fintech learn the domain by accident, one bug and one regulation at a time. There was no single map of what to learn and in what order.

The approach

  1. Map the sectors

    Cover 13 sectors, from payments and lending to insurance, capital markets and wealth, with the core concepts for each.
  2. Add a quant track

    Lay out about 38 courses on statistics, time series, derivatives, backtesting and execution systems.
  3. Sequence for engineers

    Order the material so each course builds on what an engineer already knows.

Who it serves

  • Engineers

    A path into finance without guesswork.
  • Teams

    A shared base for onboarding new hires.

The outcome

A complete course map that doubles as an onboarding guide for fintech teams.
