Job summary

JPMorganChase in New York, NY seeks a Lead Software Engineer (Vice President) to drive cloud platform capabilities, secure Java services, and AI-enabled workflows. You will operate at scale, emphasize reliability, and mentor teams across risk, cybersecurity, and compliance.

The role blends platform/infra engineering (50%), Java engineering (30%), and AI development (20%), with opportunities to influence enterprise pipelines and release practices.

Qualifications

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience.
• Hands-on Java/J2EE and Python development experience, with strong depth in Spring Boot and REST API design
• AWS platform/infrastructure engineering experience, including designing and operating cloud workloads
• Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in high-availability environments, including deployments and incident troubleshooting
• Strong Infrastructure-as-Code experience with Terraform (modules, state management, secure provisioning practices)
• Production support experience using observability/APM tooling (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace), including root‑cause analysis and reliability improvements
• Experience with testing practices and frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito) and performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter/BlazeMeter or equivalent)
• Solid grounding in domain‑driven design, microservices patterns, resiliency patterns, and operating services under change/incident management controls
• Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI‑assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
• Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, build, and day-to-day operation of cloud platform capabilities and production environments at scale, emphasizing resiliency, security, and reliability
• Build and maintain secure Java (Java 17+) and Spring Boot services, including RESTful APIs, with strong code review and debugging
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code / Everything-as-Code using Terraform, including secure provisioning and policy controls where applicable
• Enable and support safe release practices (e.g., rolling and blue/green deployments) for high‑availability, high‑scale services
• Improve operational stability by eliminating recurring issues and automating remediation/runbooks where appropriate
• Apply SRE‑aligned practices (SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident response) and participate in formal change and incident management processes
• Use observability and APM tooling (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace) to monitor, troubleshoot, and improve production services
• Deliver CI/CD in a "you build it, you own it" culture using Git and enterprise pipelines (e.g., Jules, Spinnaker, or similar)
• Prototype and deliver AI‑enabled/agentic workflows (e.g., tool‑using agents, orchestration patterns, evaluation and guardrails) and translate stakeholder needs into technical designs
• Mentor engineers and partner with application teams to drive best practices across reliability, performance, risk, cybersecurity, and legal/compliance requirements
