Lead Software Developer - Confidential Computing Platform

JPMorganChase • Plano, TX

23h

About The Position

Join JPMorgan Chase’s Confidential Computing Platform within Cybersecurity & Technology Controls (CTC). As a Senior Software Developer, you will lead the design and delivery of Java services and client libraries that enable secure workload execution, while driving platform automation and controls (CI/CD with Jenkins, Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, and observability). You will manage complex projects independently, break down ambiguous requirements into clear designs and plans, and guide engineers through code reviews and best practices to deliver resilient, auditable capabilities.

Requirements

• Obtain 7+ years of professional software/security engineering experience delivering production systems; proven ability to manage complex projects independently.
• Strong Java development skills (preferably Spring), designing services and client libraries with secure APIs and robust error handling.
• CI/CD engineering experience with Jenkins, including automated testing, policy enforcement, and safe deployments.
• Hands-on Infrastructure as Code expertise with Terraform; experience designing reusable modules and automating environment provisioning.
• Overall knowledge of SDLC and secure SDLC practices; solid understanding of agile methodologies, application resiliency, and security.
• AWS fundamentals (IAM, networking, compute/containers), Linux/Kubernetes basics, and practical observability experience.
• Excellent design communication, code review (PR) skills, and mentoring capability; ability to break down complex problems into actionable steps.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with confidential computing patterns (e.g., AWS Nitro Enclaves) and related integration workflows.
• Scripting for automation (Python, Bash, Groovy), policy-as-code, artifact integrity/SBOM, and supply chain hardening.
• Testing frameworks and BDD (Cucumber); performance tuning and distributed systems troubleshooting.
• Experience operating at enterprise scale and relevant cloud/security certifications.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end design and implementation of scalable Java services and client libraries; define interfaces, contracts, and performance objectives.
• Own complex projects: translate high-level goals into architectures, milestones, and execution plans; manage risk, timelines, and stakeholder communication.
• Build, secure, and operate CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) with policy gates, automated tests (including Cucumber), and reliable release/rollback strategies.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (module design, state management, environment provisioning) and secure-by-default guardrails.
• Establish and evolve observability (logs, metrics, traces), SLOs, runbooks, and incident response readiness for services and platform components.
• Apply applied cryptography in code (TLS/mTLS, digital signatures, key rotation) and embed secure development practices throughout the SDLC.
• Conduct design reviews, perform rigorous PRs, and mentor engineers on coding standards, testing discipline, and architectural tradeoffs.
• Collaborate across product, platform, and application teams to onboard workloads and enforce consistent controls; produce clear technical documentation.
