DeepSeek fuels a fintech race, brokers hire AI engineers, and algorithm engineers are in high demand.

e company news, the frenzy caused by DeepSeek has been continuously heating up the "Fintech competition" in the securities industry. So far, more than 30 securities companies have announced the completion of local deployment and updated the application scenarios. This fierce competition is actually a concentrated display of the Fintech strength of each securities company. In the process of improving Fintech strength, talent is undoubtedly one of the important foundations.

The Securities Times reporter noticed that the demand for algorithm engineers in securities companies has increased year by year. Ding Xiu, business director of Career International, a human resources service enterprise, said that AI (artificial intelligence) algorithm engineers are in short supply. From the recruitment cycle, it takes an average of 60 days from the release of the recruitment needs of securities companies to the entry of candidates for ordinary AI engineer positions.

However, although the talent gap continues to exist, salaries have not risen accordingly. In addition, the demand for algorithm engineers is mainly concentrated in large securities companies, which reflects that the current securities industry pays more attention to efficiency in Fintech investment and the Matthew effect is increasingly prominent.
