Fireside Chat: How FinServ Companies Optimize Cost with AI for Prod

On Demand Event | Duration: 36 minutes | Originally aired: January 22, 2026

For Financial Services companies, managing spend, cost, and ROI is the basis of their business.

While the cost of running, maintaining, and managing the production systems that power their banking applications balloons, ROI has not kept up. Observability tools proliferate, code multiplies, and the team size to manage it all expands—without resulting in productivity, velocity, or economic gains.

AI is changing that, and this discussion explores how FinServ companies are deploying it across their stack.

Featured guests include:

• Jeremy Rishel: CTO, SoFi
• Nitesh Kumar: VP of Engineering, Affirm
• Sandeep Contractor: Managing Director, Infra, MSCI
• Mayank Agarwal: CTO, Resolve AI
