Associate Software Engineer

Fidelity Investments Ireland

One of the most exciting parts of the tech industry is how early-stage professionals can start out on one path, only to discover a whole new area that they want to explore.

That’s what happened to Benie Mambouana, who did a four-year bachelor’s degree in games design and development at Limerick IT, which is now part of Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS). She now works as an associate software engineer at Fidelity Investments.

“I’d never heard of fintech until I did a six-month work placement at a small fintech start-up in Madrid,” she told SiliconRepublic.com.
