Lead Software Engineer -Hybrid Mobile Development

JPMorgan Chase & Co. • Plano, TX

15d • Hybrid

About The Position

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software
engineering career to the next level.

As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Commercial & Investment
Bank - Global Banking Technology team, you serve as a seasoned member of an
agile team to design and deliver trusted market-leading technology products in a
secure, stable, and scalable way. You are responsible for carrying out critical
technology solutions across multiple technical areas within various business
functions in support of the firm’s business objectives.

You will solve business challenges through full‑stack engineering with a primary
emphasis on building modern web UIs in React and RESTful APIs in Java/Spring
Boot. You’ll deliver end‑to‑end features across the UI and API layers,
collaborating closely with partner data and platform teams to consume data via
services and APIs. While the core focus is UI and API development, exposure to
Kubernetes and event streaming (Kafka or equivalents), deploying to primarily
private cloud environments, mobile (Android/iOS), and AI/ML service integrations
is a plus. You’ll work across the software development lifecycle in a culture
that values experimentation, continuous improvement, and learning.

Requirements

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Proven full‑stack experience across web, application, and data layers with emphasis on: Front end: React for building modern web applications (state management, component patterns, accessibility, testing). Back end: Java and Spring Boot for RESTful services and microservices (API design, security, testing).
• Databases: Experience integrating with data stored in SQL or NoSQL systems, primarily as a consumer via services, ORMs, or data access layers; ability to write and interpret queries when needed. Examples include Postgres, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB.
• Strong understanding of RESTful web service and web client design and programming.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: testing strategies, code reviews, version control, and CI/CD.

Nice To Haves

• Platform and streaming: Kubernetes/container orchestration and event streaming (Kafka or equivalents); exposure to event‑driven architectures and message brokers.
• Cloud: Primarily private cloud deployment and operations (managed databases, messaging, IAM, networking basics, observability); familiarity with public cloud services is a plus.
• Mobile: Android or iOS development experience.
• AI/ML: Familiarity with AI/ML services via APIs (e.g., model endpoints, embeddings, vector stores, managed AI services) with attention to secure data handling, latency, and cost controls.
• Front‑end architecture: Micro front‑end patterns and modern front‑end tooling.

Responsibilities

• Design and build responsive, accessible React user interfaces using reusable components and modern tooling.
• Design and build secure, performant RESTful APIs and microservices in Java and Spring Boot.
• Integrate UIs and APIs end‑to‑end, including authentication/authorization, data validation, error handling, and observability.
• Define and maintain API contracts and component standards to ensure consistency and reusability across teams.
• Collaborate on architecture and design artifacts; ensure implementations meet functional and non‑functional requirements.
• Partner with data platform teams to integrate data via services and APIs; contribute to schema and contract discussions; optimize payloads, caching, and client‑side data access patterns; write or review queries when needed.
• Instrument applications and services for monitoring, logging, and metrics; use data to drive continuous improvement in reliability and user experience.
• Contribute to engineering communities of practice and foster a culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect.

Benefits

• competitive total rewards package including base salary determined based on the role, experience, skill set and location
• commission-based pay and/or discretionary incentive compensation, paid in the form of cash and/or forfeitable equity, awarded in recognition of individual achievements and contributions
• comprehensive health care coverage
• on-site health and wellness centers
• a retirement savings plan
• backup childcare
• tuition reimbursement
• mental health support
• financial coaching
