Job Description:

Out of the successful launch of Chase in 2021, we’re a new team, with a new mission. We’re creating products that solve real-world problems and put customers at the center—all in an environment that nurtures skills and helps you realize your potential. Our team is key to our success. We’re people-first. We value collaboration, curiosity, and commitment.

As a Data Platform Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Accelerator business, you are the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers. You have a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about new technology. By your nature, you are solution-oriented, commercially savvy, and have a head for fintech. You thrive working 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.

We value diversity of thought, experience, and background, believing it makes a team great. Bringing together different perspectives allows us to better serve our communities and make a meaningful impact—on our company, clients, and partners worldwide.

Job responsibilities:

• Build infrastructure to support financial products at scale.
• Set up the data platform to complement the application platform, providing modern data services (ingestion, querying, governance).
• Utilize open source products where appropriate and develop custom solutions when beneficial.
• Assist teams in identifying their data needs and leveraging the platform effectively.
• Serve as a point of contact for regulatory and control aspects of data, ensuring solutions meet compliance standards.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

• Formal training or certification in problem-solving concepts with practical experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills: independently analyze issues and develop solutions.
• Flexibility with tools and languages (e.g., debugging an SSO issue in Python, troubleshooting Java/Kotlin memory issues).
• Knowledge of data structures.
• Experience with Kubernetes or Docker.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

• Experience with at least one cloud platform.
• Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pulsar).
• Experience in setting up data platforms and establishing standards, not just pipelines.
• Experience with distributed data processing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Flink).
