As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Corporate Sector – Corporate 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.

Job responsibilities

* This role spans architecture, hands-on delivery, and ML/AI enablement in production. Architect and implement resilient, highly scalable, fault-tolerant, low-latency services and drive target-state architecture.

* Design and deploy services that integrate with enterprise systems; ensure functional, performance, scalability, security, governance, and auditability requirements are met.

* Lead and mentor the development team in a high-pressured delivery environment; manage multiple deliverables across business groups and strengthen stakeholder relationships.

* Collaborate with LOB users, SMEs, architects, DBAs, and system administrators to design solutions, manage enhancements, and resolve issues.

* Build and mature capabilities that execute ML pipelines for fraud detection and risk assessment; support modeling teams in implementation and tooling.

* Productionalize models built by data scientists, including validation readiness and quality controls prior to live usage.

* 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.

* Design and own reusable ML platform components (e.g., feature-store patterns, delivery pipelines) and establish monitoring/alerting for performance, scalability, availability, and reliability.

* Build agentic AI services to automate and enhance engineering and model-ops workflows (tool-using agents, orchestration, state management, and audit-ready traceability).

* Define and implement guardrails and evaluation approaches for agentic AI in production (quality, safety, latency, and cost).

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

* Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience; Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability

* The successful candidate demonstrates deep distributed-systems engineering expertise in Python/Java plus strong platform, delivery, and production-operability discipline; Recent hands-on software development experience in large-scale distributed systems, primarily Python and modern microservices.
