Job summary

JPMorganChase leads infrastructure capabilities at the CTO level and seeks a Lead Infrastructure Engineer to join a high-performing team delivering critical BI infrastructure across Windows, Linux, and cloud environments.

You will apply deep expertise in infrastructure engineering, automate delivery, ensure security, and collaborate with security, IAM, and vendors to modernize platforms. This role focuses on reliability, scalability, and governance in a regulated enterprise.

Qualifications

• Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience.
• Deep knowledge of one or more areas of infrastructure engineering such as: hardware, networking terminology, databases, storage engineering, deployment practices, integration, automation, scaling, resilience or performance assessments.
• 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.
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and multiple cloud technologies with the ability to operate in and migrate across public and private clouds
• Deep knowledge of one specific infrastructure technology and scripting languages (e.g., Scripting, Python, etc.)
• Drives to continue to develop technical and cross-functional knowledge outside of the product
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and multiple cloud technologies with the ability to operate in and migrate across public and private clouds; Experience supporting enterprise-grade, third-party platforms in production, including vendor engagement, upgrades, and operational troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience operating Windows and Linux environments (system services, logging, patching, access controls, and performance troubleshooting).
• Proficiency with infrastructure automation (Infrastructure as Code and scripting) and building repeatable deployment/operational patterns; Experience with observability and monitoring (metrics/logs/traces), alerting, and using telemetry to drive stability/performance improvements.
• Strong incident management skills, including clear communications during high-severity events and high-quality post-incident documentation with actionable remediation; Demonstrated ability to lead cross-team delivery: translating requirements into technical designs, managing dependencies, and driving execution in a controlled/change-managed environment.

Responsibilities

• Applies technical expertise and problem-solving methodologies to projects of moderate scope and executes creative solutions for design, development, and technical troubleshooting for problems of moderate complexity.
• Apply strong technical judgment and structured problem-solving to deliver infrastructure changes end-to-end for BI platforms across Windows/Linux and AWS/SaaS environments.
• Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate infrastructure analysis and design documentation, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
• Lead a workstream spanning core infrastructure domains (cloud networking/connectivity, compute/storage, load balancing, DNS, certificates/TLS), managing scope, dependencies, risk, and status.
• Partner with security, IAM, network, SRE/operations, and vendors to architect and implement scalable, resilient solutions and platform modernization.
• Automate and standardize delivery using Infrastructure as Code and repeatable build/deploy practices.
• Troubleshoot moderately complex cross-domain issues (SSO/auth, network connectivity, OS/platform performance, application-to-data-source latency) and drive root cause to resolution.
• Evaluate upstream/downstream dependencies and deliver safe change plans (testing, phased rollout, backout) to minimize impact for a large user base.
• Build in security and compliance controls (least privilege, vulnerability remediation, encryption, audit-ready logging) and maintain runbooks/operational documentation.
• Contribute to an inclusive, respectful team culture through clear communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
• Applies reuse-first, AI-assisted practices within delivery and automation routines to identify recurring issues and validate remediation options, ensuring changes are traceable/auditable and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.
