Sr. Lead Software Engineer – Prem OpenShift Platform

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software engineering career to the next level.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan

Chase within Enterprise Technology Compute Infrastructure Platforms team, you will design and build the software layer that makes our Open Shift platform usable at enterprise scale. You will focus on private cloud solutions that enable Kubernetes-based hypervisor and container platforms on Open Shift, with the goal of delivering a consistent end-user experience across on-premises and public cloud environments. You will develop self-service workflows, platform APIs, controllers/operators, integrations, automation services, and developer/platform tooling in partnership with infrastructure engineering and key platform stakeholders.

• Designandimplementplatform services that enable workload onboarding and lifecycle management (provisioning, policy/guardrails, quotas, templates, golden paths).
• Build Kubernetes-native automation, including custom controllers/operators where appropriate.
• Integrateplatform services with identity, secrets, policy, observability, and CMDB/service-catalog patterns as required.
• Developtools and services for multi-cluster operations, cluster onboarding, configuration standardization, and compliance reporting.
• ImplementCI/CD for platform software with engineering rigor, including testing, code review, static analysis, release versioning, and rollback strategies.
• Collaborate with infrastructure engineers to define reliability and performance requirements and to reduce operational friction through automation and clear interfaces.
• Deliversecure, high-quality production code that supports scalable, reliable private cloud infrastructure services.
• Producearchitecture and design artifacts for complex platform components and ensure constraints are met throughout implementation.
• Documentplatform capabilities through high-quality documentation, examples, and reference implementations to drive adoption.
• Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate analysis of complex infrastructure signals and documentation of mitigation options, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
• Leads reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted practices across delivery and automation routines to reduce recurring issues, ensuring changes are validated, traceable and auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.

• Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience.
• Experience delivering production services.
• Demonstrated proficiency building production systems inGo and/or Python(strong proficiency in at least one language).
• Demonstrated knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals (API design, concurrency, failure modes, idempotency, retries/timeouts, and observability).
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containersin production (Kubernetes primitives, client libraries, manifests, Helm/Kustomize concepts, and deployment patterns).
• Experience building platform software for Open Shift/Kubernetes environments (e.g., platform APIs, automation services, and developer/platform tooling).
• Experience implementing CI/CD practices and tool chains for platform software (testing strategies, release versioning, and rollback), including Git Ops patterns.
• Experience with Git Ops and pipeline tooling (e.g., Argo CD and Tekton/Jenkins/Git Hub Actions, or equivalent).
• Experience applying secure engineering practices in platform services (e.g., authN/authZ, secrets handling, and vulnerability remediation workflows).
• 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.

• Open Shift development and/or operations familiarity (Operators, RBAC/SCC nuances, routes/ingress patterns).
• Operator/Controller development experience, especially Go + controller-runtime patterns.
• Experience building internal developer platforms (portals, scaffolding, golden paths, policy-as-code, automation frameworks).
• Security-minded…
