We have an opportunity to impact your career and provide an adventure where you can push the limits of what's possible. 

As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Infrastructure Platforms Digital Workflows Product Line, you will lead delivery of high-quality technical solutions, drive roadmaps and agile execution, mentor engineers, and implement AI-enabled engineering capabilities (including tool functions/skills and MCP servers/agents) within governance, security, and risk controls. 

Job responsibilities
  • Lead end-to-end design, implementation, and operation of complex platform features and integrations.
  • Create technical roadmaps and milestones; drive predictable delivery and continuous team process improvement.
  • Develop assistant skills/tool functions with clear interfaces, schemas, validation, error handling, and observability.
  • Stand up and operate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers/integrations and agent patterns to accelerate delivery.
  • Establish evaluation checks, guardrails, and monitoring so AI behavior is accurate, safe, and verifiable.
  • Drive data readiness and integration practices (modeling, pipelines alignment, quality controls) underpinning AI outcomes.
  • Uphold SDLC rigor: secure coding, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, and production readiness.
  • Mentor junior engineers (technical and soft skills), delegate effectively, and unblock delivery through technical leadership.
  • Partner with product and analyst stakeholders on estimates, delivery plans, dependencies, and outcomes.
  • Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.

  • 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.

     

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
 
  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience 
  • Strong proficiency in Java and strong working experience with Python.
  • Strong architecture and design skills across systems with sound engineering judgment.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals (OOD, design patterns, SOLID) and a quality-first mindset (testing/TDD).
  • Strong integration and data fundamentals (SQL/PL-SQL; event messaging such as MQ/Kafka).
  • Experience operating production services with CI/CD, observability, and reliability best practices.
  • Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
  • Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practice.
  • Ability to create roadmaps/milestones, manage dependencies, and execute effectively in agile/scrum environments.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers, leading reviews, and raising engineering standards across a team.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across distributed, cross-functional stakeholders.

 

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
 

  • ServiceNow experience (including familiarity with the ServiceNow data model).

  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools responsibly with strong engineering judgment and secure coding practices.

  • Experience with MCP operations patterns (authN/Z, logging/traceability, rate limiting, versioning, safe rollout).

  • Experience designing AI agents with grounding/RAG patterns, deterministic fallbacks, prompt/version management, and eval harnesses.

  • Understanding of data privacy/security considerations for agent workflows (data minimization, secrets management, least privilege, auditability).

  • Experience in AWS or other public cloud platforms.
