Senior Application Architect - Assistant Vice President

State Street — Bangalore, India

As a hands on Technical Architect , you will be responsible for end-to-end architecture, design, and implementation of mission-critical systems. You will define both macro and micro level architecture and implement with engineering teams to modernize a VC++ platform into Reacts JS/Java based event based high throughput, low latency micro services based platform , ensuring alignment with cloud-native principles . Key Responsibilities Architecture & Platform Design Define and evolve the architecture for a distributed, cloud-native Investment Accounting platform , aligned with enterprise principles (scalability, resiliency, availability). Design modular microservices architectures , ensuring clear service boundaries, domain-driven design, and reusability across business capabilities. Establish event-driven architecture patterns for real-time processing, enabling decoupled and scalable workflows. Define data architecture and integration patterns , including unified data models, event contracts, and consistency strategies across IBOR/ABOR domains. Hands on experience and capability to walk the talk is critical. This is not architecture only role. Modernization Leadership (VC++ → Java) Lead the modernization of legacy VC++ systems into Java-based, distributed services Define migration patterns, decomposition strategies , and phased transformation roadmaps Ensure functional equivalence where required , while enabling architectural evolution beyond legacy constraints Guide teams on translating low-level C++ constructs into scalable Java service patterns (stateless services, async processing, etc.) Performance, Throughput & Scalability Architect systems for high-throughput transaction processing and near real-time accounting workflows Define cache-driven design strategies (distributed caching, in-memory processing, read/write optimization) Establish performance benchmarks, scalability patterns, and capacity planning principles Cloud-Native & E
