Vanguard’s Data Transmission Services (DTS) team designs, builds, and operates secure, resilient, and scalable integration solutions that enable data exchange between Vanguard and external partners. As Vanguard continues its cloud and modernization journey, DTS is evolving from traditional managed file transfer (MFT) solutions toward cloud-native integration platforms built on AWS.
We are seeking an engineer who is passionate about building and modernizing integration solutions, automating workflows, and developing reliable services that support critical business processes. This role is ideal for someone with a developer mindset, strong AWS experience, and an interest in solving complex data movement challenges through code and cloud-native services.
Core Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and support cloud-based integration and data transmission solutions using AWS services and modern development practices.
- Provide intermediate-level Data Transmission Services (DTS), including the setup, support, monitoring, and troubleshooting of external data transmissions for business clients. Configure new transmissions and modify existing ones using multiple protocols and file-handling mechanisms.
- Diagnose, debug, and resolve transmission issues and incidents, ensuring timely restoration of service in line with established service level objectives. Escalate and review complex technical issues with Senior Engineers and Leadership as required.
- Develop and maintain automation, tooling, and services that enable secure and reliable data exchange with external partners.
- Implement solutions using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines to ensure repeatable, scalable, and well-governed deployments.
- Modernize legacy MFT and batch-based integrations toward API-driven, event-based, and serverless patterns where appropriate.
- Collaborate with internal application teams, security, networking, business, and external partners to design optimal integration architectures.
- Support production data transmission environments, including participation in an on‑call support rotation to maintain the availability and stability of critical transmission services and supporting platforms.
- Adhere to established DTS policies, standards, and operating procedures, and contribute to the creation, review, and enhancement of documentation and runbooks where gaps are identified.
- Contribute to architectural discussions, technical documentation, and coding standards.
- Ensure solutions meet Vanguard security, risk, and compliance requirements, including encryption, authentication, logging, and monitoring.
- Actively participate in modernization initiatives and proof-of-concepts aligned to Vanguard’s Technology strategy.
- Participate in special projects, and other initiatives and duties as assigned.
Experience Required:
- Experience modernizing legacy MFT or batch-based integrations to cloud-native architectures.
- Familiarity with Axway B2Bi, Sterling Connect: Direct, AWS Transfer Family, or similar platforms, in hybrid or cloud (AWS/Azure) platforms.
- Scripting knowledge (Python, Shell, or similar)
- Foundational understanding of ITIL Framework and familiarity with ServiceNow or similar platforms.
- Experience building or consuming REST APIs and event-driven integrations.
- Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
- Experience working in regulated or security-sensitive environments (financial services a plus).
- Exposure to observability tools (logging, tracing, metrics) in cloud environments.
- Minimum of three years related work experience.
- Undergraduate degree in a related field or the equivalent combination of training and experience.
