About The Position

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software engineering career to the next level. As an AWS Lead Software Engineer-Full Stack/Java/Spark at JPMorgan Chase within the Corporate Sector's Risk Technology team, you will set the technical direction and orchestrate delivery for a dynamic engineering team. You will partner closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, clarify scope, and translate objectives into high-quality, scalable solutions. You’ll lead by example—innovating through modern engineering practices, elevating team standards, and ensuring predictable delivery from discovery through production support.

Requirements

Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
Hands-on experience with Apache Spark or similar large-scale data processing engines
Experience designing, developing, and deploying software on AWS using services such as EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, and Aurora
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and performance tuning skills across distributed systems
Proven experience driving end-to-end delivery: requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations

Nice To Haves

AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner, Developer, or Solutions Architect)
Experience using Terraform to deliver infrastructure-as-code on public cloud
Experience in coding Java applications with Spring Boot; experience designing resilient APIs and data models
Experience in Linux scripting (Bash, KSH) or Python for automation and tooling
Practical experience with event streaming (e.g., Kafka), relational/NoSQL databases, caching, and messaging
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tooling, test automation frameworks, and security best practices
Familiarity with observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and SRE principles

Responsibilities

Lead a multi-disciplinary agile team, setting clear goals, engineering standards, and delivery plans.
Mentor and coach engineers, grow talent, and foster a culture of craftsmanship, ownership, and psychological safety.
Drive architectural decisions, design reviews, and technical governance; ensure alignment with long-term platform strategy.
Facilitate requirement gathering, story mapping, and scope definition with stakeholders; translate business needs into technical roadmaps.
Own estimation, dependency management, and risk mitigation; maintain a healthy backlog and release plan.
Communicate status and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders; ensure transparency on delivery and quality.
Design and build new applications with modern, cloud-native architectures; modernize legacy systems for resilience and performance.
Implement batch and real-time components following best practices for reliability, security, operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and performance.
Establish and enforce quality gates: code reviews, automated unit/integration/acceptance tests, and secure-by-default patterns.
Ensure strong CI/CD discipline, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments.
Own production health with robust observability (metrics, logs, traces), incident response, and postmortems.
Provide and coordinate Level 2 support; reduce toil and mean time to recovery through engineering improvements.
Champion experimentation and continuous learning; introduce pragmatic innovations that improve developer experience and customer outcomes.
Participate and lead agile ceremonies: standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, retrospectives.
Contribute to a team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect.
