Job description

Be at the heart of building trusted, scalable data foundations that power critical technology and operational processes. Shape enterprise data architecture, pipeline patterns, and configuration management database outcomes in a resilient, controlled environment. Join a team where your leadership and partnership across product and engineering drives durable platforms and long-term career growth.

As a Director of Data Engineering at JPMorganChase within Enterprise Technology’s unit, you will lead the enterprise CMDB strategy and data quality program to ensure trusted data foundations for operational and technology processes. As the enterprise data leader, you will define scalable data architecture, integration patterns, and pipelines; own CMDB governance and quality outcomes; and partner across product and engineering to deliver resilient, controlled platforms.

This role leads ServiceNow configuration management database (CMDB) and related configuration/data domains, establishing scalable integration and data consumption patterns that support horizontal scale and performance as data volumes grow. You will work closely with product, architecture, engineering, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data teams to drive shared outcomes—balancing delivery velocity with resilience, security, and control obligations through practical standards and measurable quality metrics. You will also enable safe, auditable use of enterprise‑approved AI, incorporating human‑in‑the‑loop validation where required.
