Lead Software Engineer - Agentic AI Engineer

We have an opportunity to impact your career and provide an adventure where you

can push the limits of what's possible.

As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Consumer and Community

Banking – Digital Technology 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.

This role requires a strong AI-forward mindset. We are looking for engineers who

don't just use AI — they think with it, build with it, and know when not to use

it.

Job Responsibilities

* Leverage AI-powered coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) as core

tools in daily development workflows — writing, reviewing, debugging, and

refactoring code with speed and precision

* Validate, critique, and iterate on AI-generated outputs rather than accepting

them uncritically; apply sound engineering judgment to AI suggestions

* Continuously evaluate emerging AI tools and techniques, driving adoption

where they deliver measurable productivity and quality gains

* Design, build, and deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions including

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, agentic AI systems, and

LLM-powered workflows

* Architect AI systems with production-level concerns: scalability, cost

management, latency, data privacy, hallucination mitigation, and

observability

* Design, build, and deploy agentic solutions with enterprise grade identity,

guardrails, tracing etc.

* Execute creative software solutions, design, development, and technical

troubleshooting with the ability to think beyond routine or conventional

approaches. Develop secure, high-quality production code and review and debug

code written by others

* Apply strong systems thinking — understand how components connect end-to-end,

where failures occur, and how changes propagate across distributed systems

* Identify opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring

issues to improve overall operational stability

* Lead evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams

to probe architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability

within existing systems

* Influence stakeholders and drive alignment across teams without direct

authority, and own outcomes end-to-end — take accountability when things go

well and when they don't

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

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

years of applied experience

* Demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub

Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) — not just familiarity, but daily integrated

use

* Hands-on experience building AI/ML-powered features or products — RAG

systems, AI agents, prompt engineering, or LLM integration in production or

near-production environments

* 3+ years of hands-on experience with AWS cloud services

* Proficiency in Python programming

* Experience with Django or another web backend framework

* Experience with React or another modern UI framework

* Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code principles

* Solid understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms

* Demonstrated adaptability — ability to operate effectively in fast-changing,

ambiguous environments and deliver at speed

* Strong problem-solving skills with a structured, evidence-based approach to

decision-making

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

* Experience with AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI,

Google ADK, or similar)

* Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Chroma, or

similar) and embedding models

* Understanding of LLM evaluation, guardrails, and responsible AI practices

(accuracy, cost, bias, data privacy)

* Exposure to Data Engineering tools and platforms, especially Databricks

* Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

* Knowledge of other cloud platforms (Azure, GCP) is a plus
