  • Based on the type of fintech app, you could have Machine Learning features involved, in my case, we build machine learning models in order to create credit score variables.

  • Most of the time, data engineers and data scientists are used in order to calculate metrics, data analysis, BI. But in my case, they are involved in the development process of the app because some important features may depend on their processes.

  • Handling a lot of sensitive data, this kind of feature needs complex architecture and security designs that most of the apps don't.
