About State Street Poland

State Street Corporation's Krakow GCC represents a major strategic investment in Central and Eastern Europe. Established in 2011, the center has grown to over 3,200 employees across Krakow and Wroclaw locations. The hub serves as a critical delivery center for technology, operations, finance, and risk management services supporting global markets.

The technology capabilities are extensive, with engineering teams working on Java, Python, and cloud-native architectures across AWS and Azure platforms.
