Job summary

State Street is seeking a Process Automation Engineer in New Jersey to design, build, and support automated workflows. You will work hands-on with code and integrations, turning manual processes into reliable automation within a regulated environment.

You’ll collaborate with Process Engineering & Automation, business units, and technology teams to deliver end-to-end automation that scales, with attention to security, resilience, and maintainability.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in software engineering, process automation, or solution delivery. You've built and shipped production systems, not just designed them on whiteboards.
• Hands-on builder. You write and review code regularly, and you want to keep doing that. This is not a step away from the keyboard.
• You've built workflow automation on a low-code or orchestration platform (Appian, Pega, Camunda, similar) and wired it into the systems around it.
• Solid fundamentals: APIs, integration patterns, testing, SDLC.
• You've worked in a regulated environment, or you can convince us you understand why controls exist and how to deliver in a matrixed org where nobody reports to you.
• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

Responsibilities

• Build the automation. Design, build, test, and support automated business workflows in Appian (or whatever replaces it).
• Fix broken processes. Turn manual, high-friction workflows into software that runs.
• Own your delivery end to end. Ensure deployment and support meet enterprise standards for security, resilience, controls.
• Connect systems. Build integrations between the orchestration platform and surrounding systems with clean APIs.
• Test and support what you build. Write tests, fix defects, and monitor production for issues.
• Try new tools. Explore AI and agentic automation, pilot promising options, share learnings with the team.
• Work across pods. Collaborate with product owners, platform engineers, and service teams.
• Raise the bar. Follow and improve delivery controls and engineering standards.
