Job Description:

We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionise mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We're already trusted by millions in the US and we're quickly catching up in the UK – but how we do things here is a little different. We're building the bank of the future from scratch, channelling our start-up mentality every step of the way – meaning you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact.

As a Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the International Consumer Bank, you will be a part of a flat-structure organization. Your responsibilities are to deliver end-to-end cutting-edge solutions in the form of cloud-native microservices architecture applications leveraging the latest technologies and the best industry practices. You are expected to be involved in the design and architecture of the solutions while also focusing on the entire SDLC lifecycle stages.

Our Engineering team is at the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers. We're looking for people who have a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about new technology. By their nature, our people are also solution-oriented, commercially savvy and have a head for fintech. We work in tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects – and depending on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move between them.

Job responsibilities:

• Use domain modeling techniques to allow us to build best in class business products.
• Structure software so that it is easy to understand, test and evolve.
• Build solutions that avoid single points of failure, using scalable architectural patterns.
• Develop secure code so that our customers and ourselves are protected from malicious actors.
• Promptly investigate and fix issues and ensure they do not resurface in the future.
• Make sure our releases happen with zero downtime for our end-users.
• See that our data is written and read in a way that's optimized for our needs.
• Keep an eye on performance, making sure we use the right approach to identify and solve problems.
• Ensure our systems are reliable and easy to operate.
• Keep us up to date by continuously updating our technologies and patterns.

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills:

• Formal training or certification on problem-solving concepts and proficient applied experience
• A desire to teach others and share knowledge. We aren’t looking for hero developers, more for team players.
• Adjusts quickly to changing priorities and conditions. Copes effectively with complexity and change. Learns and unlearns technologies and patterns quickly. Comfortable in uncharted waters.
• Can see the long term. Won’t sacrifice the future for the present. Chooses technologies and approaches based on the end goals.
• High standards. Expects personal performance and team performance to be nothing short of the best.
• Does not cut corners ethically. Earns and maintains trust.
• Does what's best for the company, rather than what's best for themselves or their team.
• Able to take the initiative and shape their own path.
• Has a pragmatic and iterative approach to achieving our long term goals

Technologies:

• We primarily use Jvm based languages (Java/Kotlin) but we also have parts of the platform that use other languages as needed.
• We look to use Open source when it makes sense and build ourselves when it doesn't.
• We are entirely cloud native and want to build a truly multi-cloud solution.
• We look at each problem independently and pick the right technology to solve it.
• We aren’t afraid to try new things but we always remember that we are looking to build something to last, and we focus on solving real world problems for real life customers.
