Lead Software Engineer - Java/React/AWS

Design and deliver cloud-native platforms for product intake, communication, and collaboration as part of an agile engineering organization.

You're a seasoned technical leader ready to own portfolio-scale challenges and elevate engineering excellence-and we have an exceptional opportunity for you.

As a Lead Software Engineer - Java/React/AWS at JPMorganChase within the Chief Technology Office (CTO) - Engineering Services & Platforms (ESP) - Product Tooling engineering team, you will shape architecture and drive delivery across the firm's state-of-the-art technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way.

You'll set technical direction, lead complex initiatives end-to-end, and mentor engineers across teams, ensuring consistent design standards, robust operational practices, and measurable business outcomes.

In this role, you'll join an agile engineering organization building and operating three firmwide platforms-Feature Request, Convey, and TechTube-that streamline product intake, customer communication, and knowledge sharing across the organization.

You'll take ownership of one or more product teams within this portfolio while influencing cross-platform strategy, architectural decisions, and the full SDLC to deliver scalable, cloud-native capabilities that improve transparency, collaboration, and value delivery for product teams firmwide.

Given the common technology stack, cross-team contribution is expected, and you'll frequently lead initiatives spanning multiple products.
