DSS Architecture Principal Architect

Step into the role of a Principal Architect at JPMorganChase and become a driving force behind the evolution of the firm's most critical infrastructure and data platforms.

As a Principal Architect at JPMorganChase within Infrastructure Platforms - Data & Specialty Services (DSS), you provide technical leadership for multiple product lines, platforms, or strategic initiatives.

You partner with peer Principal Architects on the development of target-state architecture and multi-year roadmaps across a diverse estate that includes infrastructure data platforms, mainframe and midrange compute, payments infrastructure, electronic trading services, enterprise data services, and digital workflows.

You work directly with engineers and product teams to make architectural intent practical: delivering reusable patterns, modernizing complex estates, and ensuring that solutions are secure, resilient, scalable, and operationally ready.

You bring a clear technical point of view while using evidence, delivery context, and collaboration to make decisions.

You will help DSS simplify and modernize its technology landscape, increase reuse of strategic IP platforms and services, strengthen architecture accountability, and accelerate responsible adoption of AI-enabled engineering practices.
