Assume a vital position as a key member of a high-performing team that delivers infrastructure and performance excellence.

Your role will be instrumental in shaping the future at one of the world's largest and most influential companies.

As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Infrastructure Platform - SDWAN team, you apply deep knowledge of software, applications, and technical processes within the infrastructure engineering discipline. Continue to evolve your technical and cross-functional knowledge outside of your aligned domain of expertise. In this SD‑WAN-focused role, you will help design and build a next-generation SD‑WAN ecosystem with integrated management, monitoring, and analytics, partnering closely with engineering, product, and architecture teams to deliver outcomes.

Job Responsibilities

* Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate infrastructure analysis and design documentation, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.

* Applies reuse-first, AI-assisted practices within delivery and automation routines to identify recurring issues and validate remediation options, ensuring changes are traceable/auditable and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.

* Lead and contribute to the architecture, evaluation, and standardization of SD‑WAN and emerging network communication technologies, products, and solutions.

* Collaborate with engineering teams and business units to define current state and future direction of the SD‑WAN technology landscape.

* Lead and collaborate in the development of technical design solutions and architecture artifacts (e.g., functional architecture, HLD/LLD).

* Capture, analyze, decompose, and document requirements for systems, products, and subsystems of moderate to high complexity.

* Partner with business, product, and architecture teams to define next-generation SD‑WAN network requirements and capabilities aligned to business outcomes.

* Drive product design deliverables and stakeholder alignment, anticipating problems and defining mitigation strategies to reduce risk and ensure successful delivery.
