As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Chief Technology office

- Intelligent Solutions Product Line team, you are an integral part of an agile

team that works to enhance, build, and deliver trusted market-leading technology

products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. As a core technical contributor,

you are responsible for conducting critical technology solutions across multiple

technical areas within various business functions in support of the firm’s

business objectives.

Job Responsibilities

* Design and deliver creative software solutions through architecture,

development, and technical troubleshooting, applying non-routine thinking to

decompose complex problems and build durable solutions.

* Architect, build, and operate secure, high-quality production systems

using Java, and AI code generation assistant tools aligned to CTO standards

for resiliency, availability, and risk controls.

* Drive adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices

(e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration,

troubleshooting support), establishing validation standards (secure coding,

peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns

across teams.

* Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape technical vision and

execute roadmaps across ISPL capabilities (process/decisioning,

workflow/robotics automation, data transformation, and business

intelligence).

* Implement and continuously improve automation-first engineering practices

including CI/CD, environment management, and release controls to reduce

manual interventions for both vendor-integrated and custom-built solutions.

* Integrate AI/ML capabilities into software systems where appropriate (e.g.,

LLM-powered experiences, retrieval-augmented patterns, NLP workflows), while

ensuring secure handling of sensitive data and outputs.

* Design experiments, implement algorithms, evaluate results, and produce

scalable and observable AI/ML components and services (including

model/service performance, latency, and reliability).

* Identify recurring production issues and drive automation/remediation to

improve system reliability, reduce toil, and raise operational maturity

(instrumentation, alerting, incident response, and root-cause elimination).

* Mentor and coach engineers and AI practitioners within a global organization,

reinforcing engineering excellence, ownership, and accountability.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

* Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+

years applied experience

* 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience delivering system

design, application development, testing strategies, and production

operations/stability.

* Advanced proficiency in Java (and/or strong proficiency in Python), including

strong knowledge of software engineering best practices, design patterns,

performance, and secure coding.

* Demonstrated experience effectively using enterprise-authorized AI assistant

tools in engineering workflows (e.g., coding support, code review, test

acceleration, troubleshooting), with appropriate validation and controls.

* Experience with platform engineering and enabling reusable engineering

capabilities at scale (developer experience, automation platforms, shared

services).

* Experience implementing AI/ML-enabled applications at the code level (e.g.,

LLMs, Generative AI, NLP), including integration patterns such as RAG,

evaluation/quality approaches, and safe deployment practices.

* Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows,

including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs,

and adherence to resiliency, privacy, and security expectations.

* Experience building and improving CI/CD pipelines and automation across the

SDLC, reducing manual steps and improving repeatability and auditability.

* Cloud-native engineering experience (preferably AWS) including

containerization, observability, and operational readiness.

* Prior experience leading/mentoring engineers as a hands-on practitioner

delivering production-grade solutions.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

* Experience integrating vendor platforms within large enterprises

(architecture, controls, upgrades, operational support, and extensibility).

* Familiarity with agentic workflow concepts and frameworks (examples may

include LangChain/LangGraph-style patterns where enterprise-approved),

including orchestration, tool-use patterns, and evaluation/guardrails.

* Knowledge of financial services technology environments, operating models,

and control expectations.

* Strong practical experience with modern cloud-native architectures

(microservices, event-driven patterns, infrastructure as code, resilience

patterns).
