As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan

Chase within Chief Technology Office (CTO), you are an integral part of an agile team that works to enhance, build, and deliver trusted market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. Drive significant business impact through your capabilities and contributions, and apply deep technical expertise and problem-solving methodologies to tackle a diverse array of challenges that span multiple technologies and applications.

As the Senior Lead Software Engineer you will work on a rare greenfield opportunity to solve for one of the fastest-growing threats in enterprise technology - Software Dependency Risk. As AI-assisted development accelerates the adoption of open-source and commercial packages across the firm, understanding what software your applications depend on — and whether it's healthy, secure, and compliant — has never been more critical.
