Our requirements

  • We are interested in strong engineers who want to step into broader technical leadership and operate at scale.
  • You’ll likely bring:
  • Deep experience building distributed, enterprise-grade applications (Java and/or Python environments)
  • Strong understanding of modern architecture principles (microservices, APIs, cloud-native design)
  • Experience working in cloud-based environments (AWS preferred)
  • Confidence working across the full lifecycle — design, build, deploy, and operate
  • A track record of owning delivery in complex, cross-functional environments
  • The ability to influence stakeholders and lead through expertise, not hierarchy
  • Prior exposure to financial services is helpful, but not essential — curiosity and learning agility matter more.

Your responsibilities

  • You will sit at the heart of engineering delivery, combining technical depth with leadership influence:
  • Design and build robust, scalable applications supporting Global Funds Management
  • Act as a technical anchor within a highly capable engineering team
  • Drive end-to-end solution delivery — from architecture through to production
  • Lead the adoption of modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automation, DevOps)
  • Partner with global stakeholders across Technology and the business to solve complex problems
  • Champion engineering excellence, quality, and continuous improvement
  • Mentor and elevate engineers, creating a high-performance, learning-oriented team

About the project

At State Street Investment Management (SSIM), we are building the next generation of platforms that power one of the world’s largest asset managers.
We are looking for an Application Development Lead to play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering the technology that underpins our Global Funds Management business — a core engine of our investment ecosystem.
This is not a traditional “lead role.” It is a hands-on, high-impact leadership position where you will architect solutions, influence engineering direction, and directly contribute to building modern, scalable platforms at enterprise scale.
This role is ideal for a senior engineer ready to expand their impact — someone who wants to shape systems, influence direction, and operate as a trusted technical leader within a globally significant platform, and is ready to:
  • Own meaningful engineering outcomes: work on business-critical platforms that directly support global investment operations
  • Shape architecture and direction: influence how systems are designed, built, and evolved
  • Operate at senior level: partner closely with experienced engineers, architects, and business leaders across regions
  • Blend leadership with hands-on delivery: lead by doing, not just directing
  • Be part of modernization: drive DevOps, cloud adoption, and emerging capabilities such as AI-enabled engineering
  • You’ll join a globally distributed, high-caliber engineering team that values:

    • Pragmatic, high-quality engineering
    • Clear ownership and accountability
    • Continuous learning and innovation
    • Collaboration across regions and disciplines
    • Location & flexibility
    • Krakow-based role
    • Hybrid model (3 days per week in the office)
