Sr. Lead Software Engineer – On Prem OpenShift Platform

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software

engineering career to the next level.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within Enterprise Technology

Compute Infrastructure Platforms team, you will design and build the software

layer that makes our OpenShift platform usable at enterprise scale. You will

focus on private cloud solutions that enable Kubernetes-based hypervisor and

container platforms on OpenShift, with the goal of delivering a consistent

end-user experience across on-premises and public cloud environments. You will

develop self-service workflows, platform APIs, controllers/operators,

integrations, automation services, and developer/platform tooling in partnership

with infrastructure engineering and key platform stakeholders.

Job Responsibilities

* Design and implement platform services that enable workload onboarding and

lifecycle management (provisioning, policy/guardrails, quotas, templates,

golden paths).

* Build Kubernetes-native automation, including custom controllers/operators

where appropriate.

* Integrate platform services with identity, secrets, policy, observability,

and CMDB/service-catalog patterns as required.

* Develop tools and services for multi-cluster operations, cluster onboarding,

configuration standardization, and compliance reporting.

* Implement CI/CD for platform software with engineering rigor, including

testing, code review, static analysis, release versioning, and rollback

strategies.

* Collaborate with infrastructure engineers to define reliability and

performance requirements and to reduce operational friction through

automation and clear interfaces.

* Deliver secure, high-quality production code that supports scalable, reliable

private cloud infrastructure services.

* Produce architecture and design artifacts for complex platform components and

ensure constraints are met throughout implementation.

* Document platform capabilities through high-quality documentation, examples,

and reference implementations to drive adoption.

* Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to

accelerate analysis of complex infrastructure signals and documentation of

mitigation options, validating outputs and handling operational data

according to sensitivity and security requirements.

* Leads reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted practices across delivery and

automation routines to reduce recurring issues, ensuring changes are

validated, traceable and auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security

expectations.

Required qualifications, capabilities and Skills

* Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and

5+ years applied experience .

* Experience delivering production services.

* Demonstrated proficiency building production systems in Go and/or

Python (strong proficiency in at least one language).

* Demonstrated knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals (API design,

concurrency, failure modes, idempotency, retries/timeouts, and

observability).

* Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containers in production (Kubernetes

primitives, client libraries, manifests, Helm/Kustomize concepts, and

deployment patterns).

* Experience building platform software for OpenShift/Kubernetes environments

(e.g., platform APIs, automation services, and developer/platform tooling).

* Experience implementing CI/CD practices and toolchains for platform software

(testing strategies, release versioning, and rollback), including GitOps

patterns.

* Experience with GitOps and pipeline tooling (e.g., Argo CD and

Tekton/Jenkins/GitHub Actions, or equivalent).

* Experience applying secure engineering practices in platform services (e.g.,

authN/authZ, secrets handling, and vulnerability remediation workflows).

* Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within

the work environment to support infrastructure engineering workflows with

strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.

* Ability to review and validate AI-assisted recommendations before

implementation, escalating when uncertain and ensuring outcomes align to

resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and Skills

* OpenShift development and/or operations familiarity (Operators, RBAC/SCC

nuances, routes/ingress patterns).

* Operator/Controller development experience, especially Go +

controller-runtime patterns.

* Experience building internal developer platforms (portals, scaffolding,

golden paths, policy-as-code, automation frameworks).

* Security-minded engineering experience (authN/authZ, secrets handling,

SBOM/signing concepts, vulnerability remediation workflows).

* Experience with multi-cluster and multi-environment platform strategy,

enabling consistent user experiences across on premise and public cloud.

* Passion for innovation, AI-assisted engineering, and continuous improvement

practices that measurably improve quality and delivery speed.
