No they dont have managers or a separte QA team. 30 is their entire tech team which handles everything.

They are largest broker so others might be sales, legal, marketting, hr guys

Trading brokers don't need to make spam-filtering tools, CSAM filters, ads tools, handling huge video/image data, or handling a global audience.

I suspect most brokers's tech is way simpler than Twitter's.
