About The Position

If you are looking for a game-changing career, working for one of the world's leading financial institutions, you’ve come to the right place.
As a Principle Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Global Technology - Analytics, Insights and Measurements (GT AIM) team, you will deliver trusted, decision-grade insight across GT through rigorous statistical analysis and domain-informed interpretation. You will be entrusted in delivering market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. As a core technical contributor, you are responsible for conducting critical technology solutions across multiple technical areas within various business functions in support of the firm’s business objectives.
Reporting to the Head of GT Architecture and Strategy (GTAS), this role applies sound statistical and analytical methods to technology data to inform strategy, execution, and investment decisions across multiple technology domains. The role works in close partnership with leaders of strategic programs, providing continuous statistical analysis and insight to support priority outcomes.
The role requires deep understanding of software engineering delivery models and flows e.g., feature branch, trunk-based, and integrated delivery to ensure metrics and analysis accurately reflect how technology is delivered. Areas of focus include developer productivity, delivery and portfolio performance, technology spend and value realization, return on investment, and the adoption and impact of Artificial Intelligence across GT.
The emphasis is on building internally owned, transparent, and explainable analytics through sound statistical methods, rather than relying on opaque third-party tools. All roles are hands-on. Managers provide leadership and direction while actively contributing to analysis and insight delivery. Senior Individual Contributors independently own complex analytical problems and influence outcomes through expertise and insight.
We have an opportunity to impact your career and provide an adventure where you can push the limits of what's possible.
