The Bank of New York Mellon, in many ways, can be described as a technology business in disguise. Most of the products and services we provide would not be possible without The Bank of New York Mellon technology. In those instances, technology does not just facilitate the business — it is the business.
Technology is very much a people business. We make significant investments in technology to maintain and improve on our market leadership positions. Deploying the right mix of people who understand The Bank of New York Mellon's business and its goals along with technology is paramount as we remain innovative and stay in front of trends and competitors. The best technology in the world is of little value without the ability to put it to work in support of our business. At The Bank of New York Mellon, we've built a culture that continues to give us both.
The Software Engineering Residency is a rotational program designed to prepare the jobholder for a leadership role within our Information Technology Department. The Program, which begins June 16, 2008, consists of four 5-month job rotations, providing valuable on-the-job experience designed to expose the Resident to the many different opportunities at The Bank of New York Mellon. The rotations focus on the following areas:
- Technical — Design and implement software solutions to real business problems by leveraging cutting-edge technologies like XML, Web Services, J2EE, Cold Fusion MX, Business Intelligence systems and Data Mining tools.
- Business Analysis — Help business clients understand their technology needs and design solutions by gathering requirements, developing use-case scenarios, defining project scope and acting as a liaison between the development team and the end users.
- Project/Process Management or Systems Architecture — Work along with experienced project managers to organize and lead a software development project. As a Systems Architect the Resident leads the design effort for large-scale software implementations.
- Individual Assignment — In this final rotation, the Resident is placed in a technical, business analysis, project management or systems architecture role based on the Resident’s interests and current business needs.
Typically, the initial rotations are located in Pittsburgh to build camaraderie among the Residents. Subsequent rotations and post-program placement may be in Pittsburgh, Boston, New York or New Jersey as determined by business need and Residents' interests and demonstrated skills.
