Lead Software Engineer / Platform 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 Corporate Sector -

Employee Platforms 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.

The Branch Technology engineering team builds software-defined platforms that

manage and automate technology across the Retail Branch network. It is a small,

focused team where engineers work across the stack, own their delivery end to

end, and operate close to the architecture. The team moves fast, holds a high

bar, and expects every engineer to bring their full capability to the work. As

a Senior Lead Software Engineer, your focus will be the Software Defined Branch

platform - contributing to the modernization of the C#, . NET, and PowerShell

workflows that drive branch builds and Windows automation at scale. You will

work alongside experienced engineers to re-shape those systems into a clean,

maintainable, and extensible agentic platform, taking on complex problems and

delivering with a level of craft the team can build on. You will be expected to

bring AI tools into your daily workflow, engage with emerging agentic patterns

on the CDAO Fusion Studio platform, and operate with the kind of autonomy and

judgement that a lean, high-performing team depends on.
