As a Software Engineer III at JPMorgan

Chase within Commercial and Investment Bank - Payments Technology , you serve as a seasoned member of an agile team to design and deliver trusted, market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. You will deliver both the technical platform capabilities and the business functionality that process payments for global clients across multiple clearing systems, building high-volume, event-driven microservices and APIs where correctness, resiliency, and auditability are critical.

• Executes software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or break down technical problems
• Partners with product owners, business analysts, and operations teams to translate payment business requirements such as validations, enrichment, routing, and exception handling into robust technical solutions
• Designs, develops, and maintains Java/Spring Boot microservices and RESTful APIs that process payment transactions through Kafka- and MQ-based event-driven flows
• Creates secure and high-quality production code, including stateful workflows, idempotent message processing, and resilient integrations with upstream and downstream systems
• Writes automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests and contributes to CI/CD pipelines with static analysis and code quality gates to deliver safe, frequent releases
• Produces architecture and design artifacts for complex applications while being accountable for ensuring design constraints are met by software code development
• Supports production stability through monitoring, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis of payment flows in containerized, Kubernetes-based environments
• Leverages enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity across complex deliverables (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards; contributes learnings and reusable patterns to improve broader team effectiveness
• Analyzes production telemetry and operational data to proactively identify hidden problems and patterns, and uses these insights to drive improvements to coding hygiene and system architecture

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
• Hands-on programming experience with Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs, including API security, authentication/authorization, and API documentation
• Experience with event-driven and messaging platforms such as Kafka or IBM MQ
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., Oracle) and No
  
  SQL data stores, including SQL and database schema change management
• Experience with automated testing (TDD, JUnit, Mockito, BDD/Cucumber) and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Maven, Jenkins)
• Experience deploying and operating services using Docker and Kubernetes
• Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs for correctness, performance, and security
• Understanding of responsible AI use in…
