If you are looking for a game-changing career, working for one of the world's leading financial institutions, you’ve come to the right place.

As a Senior Principal Software Engineer at JPMorgan

Chase within AMDP/CDAO, you will serve as a hands‑on thought leader and builder for AI Foundation Services—the scaled, secure, performance‑optimized infrastructure that enables large‑scale GenAI and traditional AI/ML across Lines of Business. You will partner directly with Lines of Business application teams to synthesize requirements into implementable designs, co‑develop solutions through launch and early operations, and de‑risk delivery across performance, scale, reliability, and security.

You will also drive firmwide reuse through shared reference architectures, playbooks, test harnesses, and GPU training/serving baselines, raising the engineering bar and accelerating adoption across the portfolio.

• Leads as a hands‑on technical thought leader to build, integrate, and optimize AI Foundation Services infrastructure for GenAI and traditional AI/ML platforms
• Co‑develops with Lines of Business (LOB) application teams to deliver reusable AI/ML foundational services and managed service patterns
• Synthesizes Lines of Business (LOB) requirements into implementable designs and drives delivery from design through launch and early operational support
• De‑risks delivery across performance, scale, reliability, and security by defining non‑functional requirements, testing strategies, and operational readiness criteria
• Drives reuse and standardization through shared reference architectures, playbooks, test harnesses, and GPU training/serving baselines for model hosting platforms
• Sets strategy and operating standards for agentic AI‑enabled engineering across a portfolio (using enterprise‑authorized tools within the work environment) to drive measurable improvements in delivery speed, reliability, and code quality (e.g., AI‑orchestrated SDLC/TLM automation, release readiness gating, incident triage/root‑cause acceleration, and large‑scale refactoring/test modernization), while defining guardrails for validation, security, resiliency, and reuse across teams and functions.
• Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise‑authorized AI‑assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation at scale
• Advises and leads on the strategy and development of multiple products, applications, and technologies across a portfolio by creating novel code solutions and drives the development of new production code capabilities across teams and functions
• Translates highly complex technical issues, trends, and approaches to leadership to drive the firm’s innovation and enable leaders to make strategic, well‑informed decisions about technological advancements
• Drives adoption and implementation of technical methods in specialized fields in line with the latest product development methodologies
• Influences across business, product, and technology teams and successfully manages senior stakeholder relationships
