Job Description:
Description Be an integral part of an agile team that's
constantly pushing the envelope to enhance, build, and deliver
top-notch technology products. As a Senior Lead Software Engineer
at JPMorganChase within Global Finance Technology, you are an
integral part of an agile team that works to enhance, build, and
deliver trusted market-leading technology products in a secure,
stable, and scalable way. Drive significant business impact through
your capabilities and contributions, and apply deep technical
expertise and problem-solving methodologies to tackle a diverse
array of challenges that span multiple technologies and
applications. Job responsibilities Lead by example: contribute
production?quality code daily, write tests, perform code reviews,
and pair program. Design and deliver secure, high?quality
microservices and web applications with Java/Spring Boot and React;
own deep debugging, root?cause analysis, and performance tuning for
high-availability services. Own end?to?end build?and?run: design,
implement, test, deploy, and operate services (“you build it, you
run it”). Provide technical leadership across teams; set
engineering standards and coach on architecture, code quality,
security, and operational excellence. The role mix is 60–70%
hands?on engineering (design, coding, testing, debugging,
performance tuning, ops) and 30–40% technical leadership
(architecture decisions, standards, mentoring, strategy) Act as SME
for microservices, CI/CD, observability, performance engineering,
and data modeling. Champion SDLC practices: test automation, CI/CD,
security?by?default, quality gates, and disciplined change
management. Evaluate and introduce technologies that improve
reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, and auditability. Embed
non?functional requirements (security, scalability, reliability,
observability, cost) into designs; implement logging, metrics,
tracing, SLOs, error budgets, alerting, and runbooks. Foster an
inclusive team culture; mentor engineers and drive continuous
improvement and craftsmanship. Required qualifications,
capabilities, and skills Formal training or certification in
software engineering and 5 years of applied experience in related
technologies. Advanced proficiency in Java and Spring Boot; strong
fundamentals, design patterns, and secure coding. Full?stack
delivery with React (component/state management) and secure RESTful
API design. Hands?on AWS experience (EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS,
IAM), including containerized workloads, networking, and secrets
management. Microservices design, deployment, and operations. CI/CD
pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions), automated testing
(unit/integration/contract), and enforcing quality gates.
Relational and NoSQL databases: schema design, performance tuning,
and secure data access. Monitoring and logging with DataDog,
Dynatrace, and/or Splunk. Reliability and performance engineering:
concurrency, thread management, caching, and resiliency patterns
(circuit breakers, retries, backoff), with cost awareness. Proven
track record shipping and operating production systems; comfortable
troubleshooting in Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud environments.
Hands?on use of AI coding assistants to accelerate delivery (e.g.,
GitHub Copilot): prompt design, code/test generation, refactoring,
and documentation synthesis; ability to validate outputs for
correctness, security, performance, and licensing compliance. Use
subject to company-approved tools and policies. Preferred
qualifications, capabilities, and skills Understanding of
regulatory finance/external reporting (workflows, reconciliations,
controls). Cloud certifications; proven cloud?native delivery on
AWS. Experience with large?scale distributed systems, event?driven
architectures, and messaging/streaming patterns. Observability/SRE
depth: telemetry pipelines, alerting strategies, incident response,
post?mortems, and continuous improvement.
