Summary

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
