Senior Director of eSoftware Engineering - Ultra-Low-Latency C++ / Equities Technology

Your opportunity to make a real impact and shape the future of financial services is waiting for you.

Let's push the boundaries of what's possible together.

As a Senior Director of eSoftware Engineering in JPMorgan Chase's Commercial and Investment Bank, you will join the Equities Electronic Trading Technology team as a core, hands-on engineer on our ultra-low-latency trading platform.

You will design, build, and optimize the latency-critical C++ that powers our electronic trading business, spanning the core platform, high-performance market data, order execution, and market-making systems that price and quote equities and equity derivatives.

This senior-leadership-backed investment in our people and platform will help define the next generation of electronic trading.

Our engineers work across ultra-low-latency trading technology, systematic trading, next-generation high-performance market data, and the core platform that brings them together.

Disciplined prioritization and research-driven product development guide this work.

If you have deep expertise in low-latency C++ and want to write code whose performance is measured in nanoseconds-with a direct impact on clients and the business-this is the team for you.
