Data Integration Engineer, AVP

Charles River Development (CRD) is the FinTech division of State Street.  Together with State Street’s Middle and Back-office services, Charles River’s cloud-based Front Office technology forms the foundation of the State Street Alpha® Platform, the first front-to-back solution in the industry.      Our vision is to be the world’s leading investment platform, shaping the future of the industry and driving new levels of technology-led innovation, resiliency, efficiency and growth for investors and the people they serve.      CRD Engineering organization is innovating and transforming the platform by moving away from monolithic software to utilising next generation   cloud-based technology that leverages Microsoft Azure, Kafka, Snowflake, etc.     Industry momentum has seen CRD grow over 135% in headcount over the last 5 years, and we continue to grow. As a digital   innovation leader, we invest into our solutions, processes, systems, and talent.

We are seeking a Data Integration Engineer to design, build, and evolve the data integration capabilities powering the   Next -Gen   Data Platform within the State Street Alpha ecosystem. In this role, you will develop cloud‑native, scalable, and resilient data integration services using microservices and serverless architectures, including Azure Functions.   This is a hands‑on engineering role for an experienced developer (4–8 years) who enjoys solving complex data and distributed systems problems. The role combines   greenfield framework development   with ownership of   mission‑critical enterprise integrations ,   including the opportunity to ramp up on and support existing internal Java‑based import/export frameworks (built on Java and Pentaho Kettle) and enterprise integration frameworks built using Talend–based solutions that remain essential to the platform.

Analyze, design, develop, test, and maintain large‑scale, cloud‑native data integration services using microservices and serverless patterns (e.g., Azure Functions).   Contribute to the design and implementation of core data integration platforms and services, with a focus on scalability, resiliency, operability, and performance.   Build and enhance APIs and services supporting batch, near‑real‑time, and event‑driven data ingestion and transformation workflows.   Collaborate closely with architects, business analysts, product managers, and partner engineering teams across CRIMS and the broader Alpha Platform to deliver simple, sustainable solutions to complex problems.   Develop, test, debug, and deploy software primarily using   Java ,   SQL , and related cloud‑native technologies.   Perform code reviews and provide informed guidance on design and implementation decisions.   Write unit, integration, and automation tests to ensure a high‑quality, reliable platform.   Troubleshoot and resolve issues in distributed, cloud‑based production systems, including root‑cause analysis for mission‑critical client implementations.   Support and enhance existing internal Java‑based import/export frameworks (built on Java and Pentaho Kettle) and enterprise integration frameworks built using Talend integrations as part of overall data platform ownership.   Participate actively in the agile development process, including daily   standups , sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives.   Mentor and guide junior engineers, demonstrating increasing independence in design and development.   Produce and maintain technical documentation, design artifacts, and operational runbooks.

Education   B.S. degree (or foreign education equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field required.   M.S. degree preferred.   Experience & Technical Skills   4–8   years   of professional software engineering experience.   Experience designing and
