About the Role

As a Sr Lead Software Engineer - Platform Engineering at JPMorgan Chase within the Commercial & Investment Bank - Payments Technology Space, 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.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain a proprietary Java framework built on Spring Boot — starters, auto-configuration, dependency management, and integration with standard libraries for messaging, data, and observability
Own and evolve the framework versioning and release strategy — supporting multiple active major versions simultaneously while managing consumer migrations deliberately
Build and maintain the test automation strategy for the framework: unit, integration, and contract tests that give the team confidence that changes are safe before they reach the ~1,000+ application teams that consume each release
Conduct rigorous, high-quality PR reviews — explaining the why behind feedback, raising the technical standard of the local team through the review process
Own the team's approach to containerized delivery — including framework integration with managed container images, container runtime behavior, and how the framework layer interacts with the platform's image strategy
Contribute to shared platform services — the running services that the framework wires applications into at runtime; understanding the full build-to-runtime picture is essential
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
Actively participate in global platform design discussions with counterparts in other locations, representing Austin's perspective and contributing to cross-site architectural decisions
Diagnose and resolve complex, cross-cutting issues where root cause is in the framework layer rather than in any individual consumer application
Apply system design principles to framework and platform problems — making and clearly communicating critical design decisions with long-lived consequences

Requirements

Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
Significant Java engineering experience with demonstrable depth in framework or platform library development — candidates should be able to speak to versioning, compatibility, and testing challenges specific to shared library work
Strong understanding of Spring Boot internals — auto-configuration, condition evaluation, bean lifecycle, and how framework code interacts with application context
Experience building and maintaining test automation for library/framework code, including integration test harnesses that exercise real downstream behavior
Understanding of semantic versioning, backward compatibility contracts, and multi-version support strategies — ability to reason about what constitutes a breaking change and manage consumers through one
Solid experience with containerized applications and container runtime systems — including managed container image strategies, image layering, runtime concerns (JVM/GC arguments, sidecar patterns), and how framework choices affect container behavior
Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security
Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
Hands-on experience with core cloud CI/CD tooling — including infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and deployment pipeline tooling (Spinnaker); understanding of how platform software is built, versioned, and deployed in a cloud-native environment
Strong system design skills with the ability to demonstrate critical thinking on architectural trade-offs — particularly decisions that affect a large consumer base over multiple years
Proven track record as a technical lead — mentoring engineers, conducting substantive code reviews, and raising the quality of a team's output, not just individual output
