JPMorgan Chase & Co. seeks a Senior Lead Software Engineer to own the AI-first Developer Portal and external APIs. You will lead architecture for agent-ready workflows, tool schemas, and safe execution, while hands-on coding remains a significant portion of your time.

Responsibilities include delivering secure API platforms, authentication workflows, and enterprise-grade security controls. You will mentor engineers, align with security/compliance needs, and drive end-to-end delivery across

Qualifications

Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience; demonstrated coaching/mentoring experience.
10+ years of software engineering experience building and operating distributed systems at scale.
3+ years of experience leading software engineering teams and delivering complex platforms/products with measurable outcomes.
Strong hands- on backend development experience in Java (other modern backend stacks acceptable).
Proven expertise building external-facing APIs and integration platforms, including contract-first design, lifecycle/version management, security controls, and operational readiness.
Strong security fundamentals for external integrations: OAuth2/OIDC concepts, mTLS, PKI/certificates, secrets management, secure SDLC, and threat modeling.
Experience building AI-enabled product capabilities in production (beyond simple chat).
Proficient in automation and continuous delivery methods; advanced understanding of agile and modern SDLC practices.
Strong understanding of application resiliency and observability (logs/metrics/traces), performance engineering, and incident management.
Experience working in regulated environments with strong controls, compliance requirements, and reliability expectations.

Responsibilities

Lead the creation of an AI-first Developer Portal experience: define architecture patterns for agent-ready workflows, tool/action schemas, context assembly, and safe execution.
Build and operate AI-enabled support experiences (assistant + workflow automation) with contextual understanding of client/workspace state, integration progress, and troubleshooting signals.
Design and deliver secure external API platform capabilities: contract-first API design (OpenAPI), versioning strategy, backward compatibility, idempotency, pagination, consistent error models, and developer usability.
Own authentication and credential workflows for external integrations, including patterns for certificate handling, credential rotation, and secure onboarding journeys.
Establish engineering standards for AI + automation in production: evaluation and test strategy, release gating, telemetry, audit logging, and incident response for AI/tooling systems.
Remain hands- on (~50%) through critical-path coding, architecture reviews, code reviews, debugging, and performance/resiliency improvements.
Drive cross-functional, federated delivery by partnering with API owners, security, and shared services to deliver a unified client experience despite distributed backend ownership.
Coach and develop engineers: set expectations for quality, delivery discipline, design rigor, and collaboration; actively grow technical talent and leadership bench.
