Principal Architect- Data SRE

Step into the role of a Principal Architect at JPMorgan

Chase and become a driving force behind the development and adoption of cutting-edge, cloud-based technologies.

As a Principal Architect at JPMorgan

Chase within Infrastructure Platforms, you provide expertise to enhance and develop architecture platforms based on modern cloud-based technologies while supporting the adoption of strategic enterprise reliability solutions. You will partner closely with Site Reliability Engineering teams, application developers, platform engineering teams, and senior technology leaders to drive the design, adoption, and evolution of reliability tooling and engineering practices across the organization.

Leveraging your advanced architecture capabilities, you will help teams consistently adopt approved reliability capabilities, establish reusable engineering patterns, and shape the technical direction of enterprise-scale tooling.

This is a hands-on architecture leadership role that combines strategic architecture, technical engineering depth, and cross-functional influence to improve resiliency, operational excellence, and software delivery outcomes across a large, complex technology environment. You will move between defining cross-organization architecture and working alongside engineers to review integrations, identify failure modes, and guide practical implementation - earning credibility through technical depth and creating lasting impact through patterns that teams can actually adopt.

In your first year, you will be expected to deliver a prioritized architecture roadmap for reliability tooling, establish a minimum set of cross-organization reliability patterns tested with early-adopter teams, define architectural guardrails for new tooling and integrations, and build a repeatable intake and decision process for requests to adopt, extend, procure, or build reliability capabilities.

This position is subject to Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. As such, an employment offer for this position is contingent on JPMorgan

Chase's review of criminal conviction history, including pretrial diversions or program entries.

• Advise cross-functional teams on technology selection, architectural decisions, and reliability strategies to achieve target-state architecture and improve operational resilience
• Define the architectural direction, integration standards, and non-functional requirements for observability, incident management, resiliency testing, operational readiness, service ownership, and automation platforms - including clear ownership and lifecycle expectations for tools, integrations, extensions, and operational data
• Establish reusable enterprise patterns for service onboarding, service-level indicators, service-level objectives, error budgets, dashboards, runbooks, incident management, automated remediation, and operational handoff processes, and define and maintain the production-readiness baseline so that no service is considered production-ready without a named owner, documented objectives and alert thresholds, structured telemetry, tested runbooks, incident-routing integration, and evidence of resilience and recovery testing
• Guide engineering teams in embedding reliability capabilities throughout the software delivery lifecycle - including telemetry, monitoring, alerting, resilience validation, and operational readiness - rather than treating reliability as a production-only concern, and support rollout through pilots, reference implementations, onboarding guidance, and feedback-driven improvement
• Create scalable architectural frameworks and partner with engineering teams to design and develop application programming interfaces, automation workflows, event-driven integrations, and shared reliability services
• Develop secure and high-quality production code, and review and debug code written by others to ensure alignment with architecture, resiliency, security, and governance standards
• Evaluate proposed tooling and architecture solutions, promote reuse-first approaches, and establish guardrails that reduce duplication while enabling consistent adoption - balancing a common enterprise approach with reasonable flexibility for teams that have materially different operational needs
• Develop multi-year roadmaps aligned with business priorities, architecture strategy, and enterprise reliability objectives, using incident trends, operational feedback, and adoption data to improve patterns and prioritize the tooling…
