Job Description

Who we are

Although not a household name, State Street is one of the world\xe2\x80\x99s largest and most important financial services institutions, providing round-the-clock services to the global investment community. We touch $33 trillion in assets every day and are the world\xe2\x80\x99s third largest investment manager with over $2.8 trillion in assets under management. To do this we manage as much data as one of the internet giants on nearly as large a technical footprint.

Recently we launched one of the industry\xe2\x80\x99s largest technical transformation projects, in effect building a new bank from the ground up. This project isn\xe2\x80\x99t greenfield in the way most banks claim projects are; we\xe2\x80\x99ve started with a blank sheet of paper both operationally and technically. We\xe2\x80\x99re using the same technologies that Silicon Valley giants are using: use of multiple public clouds, building our own private cloud to achieve even better performance, transforming our industry through distributed ledger technology and machine learning.

This isn\xe2\x80\x99t a traditional banking role. This is a chance to push your technical skills with people more comfortable in a technology firm than an investment bank, though solving real problems that affect anyone with any form of savings worldwide (not just trying to get people to click on ads). We don\xe2\x80\x99t expect you to wear a suit, we don\xe2\x80\x99t expect you to not be able to tell your friends what you\xe2\x80\x99re working on, we don\xe2\x80\x99t expect you to sit in meetings 5 hours a day.
