London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2022 -- The fintech industry has expanded exponentially in recent years, accelerated by the need for greater digitisation as a result of the pandemic - as well as a general thirst for innovation in fields like payments. In 2022, progress looks set to be positive once again, with growth at an all-time high and rapid expansion across the sector. In terms of investment, fintech deals and dollars hit record levels in 2021 and the market for fintech jobs has exploded. This is driving some key trends in terms of demand for specific skill sets. Top among these is software engineering, thanks to the significant tech needs of the fintech sector. Around a third of roles in fintech right now are based around software engineering, and include requirements for knowledge of coding language. Another hiring trend in fintech is for operations professionals who can deliver in areas such as customer success and customer support. And, finally, there has been a huge surge in fintech companies seeking out data and analytics experts, with a view to optimising the substantial datasets that are increasingly available to enterprises in this sector.
