Be an integral part of an agile team that's constantly pushing the envelope to enhance, build, and deliver top‑notch technology products.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan

Chase within Global Finance Technology, 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.

• Lead by example: contribute production‑quality code daily, write tests, perform code reviews, and pair program.
• Design and deliver secure, high‑quality microservices and web applications with Java/Spring Boot and React; own deep debugging, root‑cause analysis, and performance tuning for high‑availability services.
• Own end‑to‑end build‑and‑run: design, implement, test, deploy, and operate services (“you build it, you run it”).
• Provide technical leadership across teams; set engineering standards and coach on architecture, code quality, security, and operational excellence. The role mix is 60–70% hands‑on engineering (design, coding, testing, debugging, performance tuning, ops) and 30–40% technical leadership (architecture decisions, standards, mentoring, strategy).
• Act as SME for microservices, CI/CD, observability, performance engineering, and data modeling.
• Champion SDLC practices: test automation, CI/CD, security‑by‑default, quality gates, and disciplined change management.
• Evaluate and introduce technologies that improve reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, and auditability.
• Embed non‑functional requirements (security, scalability, reliability, observability, cost) into designs; implement logging, metrics, tracing, SLOs, error budgets, alerting, and runbooks.
• Foster an inclusive team culture; mentor engineers and drive continuous improvement and craftsmanship.

• Formal training or certification in software engineering and 5+ years of applied experience in related technologies.
• Advanced proficiency in Java and Spring Boot; strong fundamentals, design patterns, and secure coding.
• Full‑stack delivery with React (component/state management) and secure RESTful API design.
• Hands‑on AWS experience (EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, IAM), including containerized workloads, networking, and secrets management.
• Microservices design, deployment, and operations.
• CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/Git Hub Actions), automated testing (unit/integration/contract), and enforcing quality gates.
• Relational and No
  
  SQL databases: schema design, performance tuning, and secure data access.
• Monitoring and logging with Data Dog, Dynatrace, and/or Splunk.
• Reliability and performance engineering: concurrency, thread management, caching, and resiliency patterns (circuit breakers, retries, backoff), with cost awareness.
• Proven track record shipping and operating production systems; comfortable troubleshooting in Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud environments.
• Hands‑on use of AI coding assistants to accelerate delivery (e.g., Git Hub Copilot): prompt design, code/test generation, refactoring, and documentation synthesis; ability to validate outputs for correctness, security, performance, and licensing compliance. Use subject to company‑approved tools and policies.

• Understanding of regulatory finance/external reporting (workflows, reconciliations, controls).
• Cloud certifications; proven cloud‑native delivery on AWS.
• Experience with large‑scale distributed systems, event‑driven architectures, and messaging/streaming patterns.
• Observability/SRE depth: telemetry pipelines, alerting strategies, incident response, post‑mortems, and continuous improvement.
