Who we are

Although not a household name, State Street is one of the world's 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's 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 FX industry's largest technical transformation projects, in effect building a new business from the ground up. We've started with a blank sheet of paper. We're using the same technologies that Silicon Valley giants are using: use of public clouds, building our own private infrastructure to achieve even better performance and transforming our industry through distributed Big Data Analytics and Lakehouse technologies.

This isn't 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't expect you to wear a suit, we don't expect you to not be able to tell your friends what you're working on, we don't expect you to sit in meetings 5 hours a day.

State Street is an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer/Vet/Disability.
