Director of Software Engineering- Core Global WAN

If you are a software engineering leader ready to take the reins and drive impact, we've got an opportunity just for you.

As a Director of Software Engineering within the Core Global Wide Area Network team at JPMorganChase, you will lead the architecture and engineering required to consolidate multiple network environments into a unified global platform.

You will apply deep expertise in carrier-scale networking, segment routing, traffic engineering, and software-defined infrastructure to translate strategic architecture into production solutions.

You will work across architecture, engineering, operations, security, and risk teams to modernize how global connectivity services are designed, deployed, validated, and operated.

This role requires a technical leader who can make high-impact design decisions, remain close to engineering execution, and use software, automation, telemetry, and enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence capabilities to improve network reliability and operational efficiency.

Job Responsibilities


* Lead the architecture, engineering, and execution of a multiyear transformation from multiple wide area networks to a unified global network platform.


* Define the technical strategy for carrier-scale routing, segment routing, traffic engineering, path optimization, capacity management, and network resiliency.


* Translate complex network architecture into executable engineering plans spanning design, certification, migration, implementation, and production rollout.


* Design and deliver software-defined capabilities that automate network configuration, route validation, change execution, monitoring, and operational workflows.


* Develop pre-change and post-change validation frameworks that identify configuration issues, routing anomalies, and potential resiliency risks.


* Apply enterprise-authorized artificial intelligence capabilities to support anomaly detection, predictive analysis, engineering reviews, and operational decision-making, with appropriate human validation and sensitive-data controls.


* Establish engineering standards and portfolio-level guardrails for automation and artificial intelligence-assisted workflows, ensuring traceability, auditability, security, and resiliency.


* Improve global network stability through telemetry, disciplined incident and problem management, repeat-issue remediation, and measurable reliability improvements.


* Partner with software engineering, infrastructure, cloud, security, architecture, operations, and control teams to align priorities and manage technical trade-offs.


* Provide technical leadership across strategic initiatives and influence engineering standards, platform roadmaps, and long-term investment decisions.


* Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior stakeholders and communicate complex architecture, delivery risks, and engineering decisions clearly.
