Plus500, IC Markets, Revolut and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

On March 10, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed suddenly, becoming the largest bank failure since 2008 in the US, and casting another shadow over the sluggish financial market.

US authorities launched emergency measures on Sunday to shore up confidence in the banking system though, concerns are intensifying over a contagion risk for the broader financial industry. Further, the shares of banks in the US fell sharply on Monday.

In addition to the turmoil in the banking sector, the regulatory uncertainty, macroeconomic challenges have sent global companies scrambling. Thus these firms are forced to reduce cost to stay afloat.

For around the past week, digital asset custody services provider Anchorage Digital Bank slashed 75 jobs, around 20% of its workforce. UK crypto custody and trading startup Copper was ditching its enterprise business and downsizing workforce.

Besides, Meta would make another round of job cuts. Around 10,000 people would be affected, or 13% of its workforce. And the tech firm planned to close about 5,000 additional open roles that it hasn’t yet hired. Y Combinator, an American technology startup accelerator, has scaled back growth stage investments, and laid off 20%.

Given this, job hunting is getting harder indeed. Despite layoffs, Fazzaco recently found that multiple financial firms, brokerages in particular, are strengthening their tech teams with new hires. Let's look at what jobs they're offering and what are the responsibilities.
