About

Who We Are
State Street’s Wealth Custody & Clearing (WC&C) business delivers institutional grade custody, clearing, and platform services to wealth managers, broker dealers, and financial institutions. As WC&C continues to scale its digital and cloud native platforms, we are building modern, resilient backend systems that support high‑volume financial transactions, real‑time data access, and regulatory‑grade controls. Role Summary
As a senior technical leader within the WC&C Technology team, you will architect, design, and lead the development of high‑scale, low‑latency distributed systems in a cloud native environment. This staff‑/principal‑level role influences architecture and engineering practices across multiple teams and domains, partnering closely with product, data, risk, and business stakeholders to deliver financial‑grade systems that meet stringent accuracy, availability, security, and regulatory requirements. Core Responsibilities
Architect and lead the development of high‑scale, low‑latency backend systems supporting custody, clearing, and wealth platforms. Define and enforce engineering standards, architectural patterns, and system design principles across backend teams. Drive the long‑term technical vision and architecture for distributed systems and data platforms. Partner with product, data, and business leaders to translate complex requirements into scalable technical solutions. Mentor senior engineers and serve as a technical multiplier, raising the overall engineering bar across the organization. Lead critical incident response, performance optimization, and system reliability initiatives for production platforms. Evaluate, recommend, and introduce new technologies aligned with WC&C’s strategic and regulatory objectives. Ensure systems meet enterprise expectations for resiliency, observability, auditability, and security. Required Experience (Qualifications)
9+ years of backend software engineering experience, with a strong record of building and scaling distributed systems. Demonstrated experience operating at a Staff or Principal Engineer level, influencing multiple teams or technical domains. Proven expertise designing systems with high availability, fault tolerance, and strong data consistency guarantees. Track record of ownership over large‑scale architecture decisions and long‑term system evolution. Experience working in production‑critical environments where reliability, accuracy, and operational excellence are paramount. Strong understanding of wealth management, brokerage, or financial services platforms. Familiarity with core financial concepts such as portfolio management, trading systems, market data ingestion, and account structures. Experience building systems requiring high precision (e.g., monetary calculations), full auditability, and regulatory compliance. Working knowledge of financial regulations or standards (e.g., SEC, FINRA, GDPR) is a strong plus. Deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices‑based architectures. Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and container orchestration (Kubernetes). Proficiency with data storage technologies, including PostgreSQL, distributed data stores, and caching layers. Hands‑on experience with event‑driven architectures, messaging systems (e.g., Kafka), and API design. Strong understanding of system design tradeoffs, including consistency, latency, scalability, and resiliency. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related field (equivalent practical experience considered). Benefits
Competitive compensation, benefits, and long‑term career growth opportunities. Salary Range: $120,000 - $217,500 (annual; range may differ for locations outside the primary one). Comprehensive benefits program, including 401(k) with company match, health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, and paid time off. Employee Assistance Program, incentive compensation, and tax‑advantaged savings plans. Equal Opportunity Employer
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we consider all qualified applicants for all positions without regard to race, creed, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, ethnicity, age, disability, genetic information, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, citizenship, marital status, domestic partnership or civil union status, familial status, military and veteran status, and other characteristics protected by applicable law.
