Build and ship production AI-enabled software, primarily backend services in Python. Develop APIs, microservices, LLM-driven agentic workflows, SQL-backed business logic, and inference integrations. Support CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, Terraform, multi-cloud infrastructure, observability, incident response, and secure production operations. Collaborate across the software development lifecycle while using and validating enterprise-authorized AI coding tools.
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 AI/ML Technology, you will be a hands-on engineer responsible for building and shipping production software with a strong focus on AI-enabled capabilities. You will work across the full software development lifecycle—from requirements clarification and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. You will develop backend services in Python, build APIs and micro-services, implement LLM-based solutions including agentic workflows, and deliver into a multi-cloud environment using Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. This role offers you the opportunity to grow your expertise in applied AI engineering while contributing to systems that operate at enterprise scale.

- Apply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorised AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realised by automation
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and proficient applied experience
- Strong hands-on JavaScript, Java or Python development experience building backend services, including testing, packaging, dependency management, and maintainability
- Strong database and SQL proficiency, with experience implementing application logic and APIs on top of relational data
- Experience building APIs and micro-services using REST or gRPC, including contracts, security basics, and observability
- Practical experience delivering LLM-based features as part of software systems, with familiarity with agentic patterns
- Working knowledge of delivery and operations including CI/CD, and Git
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure concepts in a multi-cloud environment
- Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals and software development lifecycle practices including design, reviews, testing, release, and production support
- Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorised AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, testing, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate and validate AI-generated outputs
- Strong experience with container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes distributions such as EKS, AKS, GKE or OpenShift, or managed equivalents such as ECS or Azure Container Apps), and with the cloud infrastructure that supports them.
- Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases in the cloud (e.g. RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, Azure SQL/Cosmos DB, GCP Cloud SQL/Firestore, Oracle).
Preferred skills
- Familiarity with Terraform and cloud infrastructure concepts in a multi-cloud environment
- Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations
