We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from
a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase, to revolutionize
mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We're already
trusted by millions in the US and we're quickly catching up in the United
Kingdom — but how we do things here is a little different. We're building the
bank of the future from scratch, where you'll have the opportunity to make a
real impact.
As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the International
Consumer Bank, you will lead a team building and operating a first-class
observability capability across our cloud-native microservices. Collaborating
closely with product, platform, and development teams, you will influence the
technical roadmap, architect, standardize, and build resilient, cost-efficient
tooling for metrics, logs, and traces telemetry data across all stages of the
software delivery lifecycle — delivering end-to-end, cutting-edge solutions that
enhance the developer experience.
Our Developer Experience team is at the heart of this venture, dedicated to
providing an exceptional experience for all our engineers. We're looking for
people who have a curious mindset, thrive in a collaborative environment, and
are passionate about new technology. By nature, our people are
solution-oriented, commercially savvy, and have a head for fintech. We work in
tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects — and depending
on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move between
them.
While we're looking for professional skills, culture is just as important to us.
We understand that everyone's unique — and that diversity of thought,
experience, and background is what makes a good team great. By bringing people
with different points of view together, we can represent everyone and truly
reflect the communities we serve. This way, there's scope for you to make a huge
difference — on us as a company, and on our clients and business partners around
the world.
