Full description
Push the limits of what’s possible with us as an experienced member of our Software Engineering team.
As an Experienced Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Global Technology team, you serve as a member of an agile team to design and deliver trusted, market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. In this role, you will help build and evolve the Portfolio Management Fixed Income platform delivering portfolio management capabilities purpose-built for Fixed Income and supporting end-to-end portfolio construction and implementation workflows. These workflows include intraday portfolio exposure monitoring, order management, scenario-based what‑if analysis, order sizing, automated pre-trade compliance checks, and order submission, enabling portfolio managers and traders to make informed decisions, stay aligned with mandate guidelines, and execute efficiently across Fixed Income markets.
You will join the backend engineering team building and maintaining JVM-based microservices that power portfolio analytics, reporting, and trade sizing across these workflows. You’ll work in a well-structured, multi-module codebase governed by clear conventions, designing and operating resilient services and REST APIs within a modern SDLC that emphasizes quality, security, and operational excellence. Experience with Kotlin is valued; the service is progressively adopting Kotlin, so a willingness to work across both Java and Kotlin is important.
