Sr Lead Software Engineer - UAT Data Platform & Governance Lead

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 Sr Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within Asset & Wealth Management, you will define and drive the firm-aligned strategy, operating model, and engineering execution for UAT data provisioning at scale.

You will build and evolve a reusable UAT Data Platform that delivers fit-for-purpose, reliable UAT datasets across multiple Sources of Record (SORs) through standardized patterns, strong governance controls, and automated orchestration; improving environment stability and enabling repeatable testing outcomes.

Job responsibilities


* Own the end-to-end platform and governance outcomes for UAT data refresh and provisioning.


* Set strategy and standards for UAT data provisioning, including reference architecture, reusable patterns, and "golden path" standards that teams can consistently adopt.


* Own the UAT Data Platform roadmap, prioritizing capabilities that increase dataset availability, reduce environment instability, and improve repeatability of test outcomes.


* Establish governance and operational controls for UAT data, including access management, auditability, retention, and quality/validation checks, partnering with risk and control stakeholders as needed.


* Lead end-to-end orchestration of UAT refreshes across multiple SORs, including dependency mapping, sequencing, cutover planning, runbook execution, and stakeholder communications.


* Build/extend self-service capabilities for refresh requests, automated workflow execution, standardized validation, and clear status/traceability for users and operators.


* Drive engineering excellence and reliability for the platform (secure coding, CI/CD, operational readiness, incident response discipline, postmortems, and continuous improvement).


* Influence across teams and functions to adopt standardized approaches, improve cross-system coordination, and apply modern engineering practices and tooling to UAT data operations.


* Act as the accountable technical leader for design and operational decisions impacting UAT data provisioning, platform scalability, and day-to-day stability.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills


* Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
