About the Job

Requirements

Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts and at least 5 years of applied experience.
Demonstrated experience leading enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment, including setting team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity, secure input/output handling, and resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching senior engineers or leads on compliant usage patterns and controls.
Strong hands-on system design and application development skills with production ownership across delivery, stability, incident response, and continuous improvement.
Advanced Python proficiency (3.10+), including dataclasses, type hints, generators and streaming, CLI frameworks such as Click, and sound package structure.
Strong SQL and data-modeling skills, including correct, performant, read-only queries and reasoning about joins across large schemas and data quality.
Hands-on experience delivering generative AI/LLM solutions, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool orchestration, evaluation, and guardrails.
Experience building and maintaining authenticated REST and streaming/WebSocket API integrations, including cookie/CSRF/Kerberos/SSO authentication, pagination, retry/backoff, and robust error handling.
Experience building secure, auditable systems, including versioning, access controls, credential-at-rest hygiene, data handling, logging/audit trails, monitoring, and change management.
Data-engineering pragmatism, including streaming large files, header/key normalization, fuzzy joins, and memory-conscious ETL over real-world data.
Experience building and testing production Python with modern CI/CD practices, such as pytest fixtures, linting/type-checking, and disciplined git/PR workflows.

Responsibilities

Drive adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes; establish measurable validation standards for secure coding, peer review, and automated testing; promote reuse of proven patterns and automation within the SDLC/TLM toolchain.
Build and maintain the full-stack Python toolkit and data products that power agentic risk-oversight workflows.
Implement LLM-based services, including RAG, tool/function calling, agent and skill orchestration, prompt/version management, and evaluation/guardrails aligned to risk and control expectations.
Develop authenticated integrations and APIs to internal systems using REST and streaming/WebSocket, handling authentication, pagination, retry/backoff, and TLS with attention to performance, reliability, resiliency, and security-by-design.
Build data pipelines with data scientists to stream and normalize large datasets and join them across sources and large schemas using correct, performant, read-only SQL.
Write secure, high-quality production code and comprehensive tests; contribute to code reviews as both author and reviewer, emphasizing maintainability, clarity, and misuse resistance.
Build observability into services through logs, metrics, and tracing; troubleshoot production issues, participate in incident response as needed, and automate remediation for recurring operational problems.
Implement safe-by-default patterns for AI features, including bounded tool use, validation, timeouts, structured outputs, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop workflows where appropriate.
Generate audience-ready outputs, including self-contained interactive HTML dashboards and structured evidence packages, for technical and non-technical risk stakeholders.
Collaborate with the product team to refine requirements, break down work, and deliver iteratively with Product, Risk, Controls, Compliance, and data teams.
Use enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to accelerate coding, refactoring, test creation, and troubleshooting while validating outputs for correctness, performance, and security.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with risk management domains and workflows, including controls, operational risk, entitlements/SOX, privileged access, incident/change/problem management, and model risk, as well as building in regulated environments.
Experience authoring LLM agent/skill systems, knowledge-base/RAG design, and MCP-based tooling.
Frontend-lite reporting skills, including generating interactive HTML/CSS/JavaScript dashboards from Python using tools such as Chart.js, with basic data-visualization sense.
Exposure to distributed computing or cloud data platforms, such as a major cloud provider, Spark, or Databricks.

Be an integral part of an agile team that's constantly pushing the envelope to enhance, build, and deliver top-notch technology products.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Chief Technology Office - Risk, Control & Regulatory team, 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.

You will develop Python-based software that combines data pipelines, authenticated internal-system integrations, and generative AI/LLM-based agent capabilities. You will focus on a Python and PostgreSQL platform, backed by a curated risk data store and an architecture of LLM agents and skills. You will contribute production code regularly, raise the engineering quality bar through strong technical judgment and collaboration, and ensure solutions are reliable, well-observed, and compliant with firm expectations for security, data sensitivity, and responsible AI use.

Job responsibilities

Drives adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), while establishing measurable validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of proven patterns and automation within the SDLC/TLM toolchain.
Build and maintain the full-stack Python toolkit and data products that power agentic risk-oversight workflows
Implement LLM-based services, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool/function calling, agent and skill orchestration, prompt/version management, and evaluation/guardrails aligned to risk and control expectations.
