Lead Software Engineer - Java, React, AWS

Design and deliver cloud-native platforms for product intake, communication, collaboration, roadmaps, and technical knowledge sharing as part of an agile engineering organization.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Chief Technology Office team, you will shape architecture and drive delivery across the firm's state-of-the-art technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way. You'll set technical direction, lead complex initiatives end-to-end, and mentor engineers across teams, ensuring consistent design standards, robust operational practices, and measurable business outcomes. In this role, you'll join an agile engineering organization building and operating a growing portfolio of firmwide platforms: Feature Request, Convey, TechTube, go/roadmaps, go/blogs, and go/engineers, that streamline product intake, customer communication, knowledge sharing, roadmap transparency, long-form technical publishing, and developer documentation across the organization. You'll take ownership of one or more technical teams within this portfolio while influencing cross-platform strategy, architectural decisions, and the full SDLC to deliver scalable, cloud-native capabilities that improve transparency, collaboration, and value delivery for product teams firmwide. Given the common technology stack, cross-team contribution is expected, and you'll frequently lead initiatives spanning multiple products.

Job Responsibilities

• Own platform-level architecture and technical strategy across one or more platforms ensuring secure, scalable, and resilient solutions across the SDLC.

• Lead complex technical initiatives from discovery and design through delivery and operations, establishing engineering standards, reusable patterns, and reference implementations for cross-team adoption—including capability-first API designs that let multiple channels (authoring app, MCP, email, RSS, go/engineers) light up from a single investment.

• Design and implement complex, cloud-native software with clear ownership of key integrations, including Jira (Jira Align/Jira Plan for roadmap data), Bitbucket/GitHub (commit aggregation and contributor tracking), and event-driven notification and delivery workflows.

• Architect and build backend services, GraphQL APIs, and modern React UIs, including Module Federation micro-frontends and Hugo-based static content pipelines, ensuring thoughtful API design (GraphQL and REST) and robust client-server contracts.

• Own content and discovery capabilities such as Lucene-based full-text search, documentation hosting across 50+ content modules, and content authoring pipelines (scaffolding, validation, build), with an emphasis on the go/blogs and go/engineers merge track.

• Write secure, high-quality, well-documented code across multiple languages and frameworks (e.g., Java Spring Boot, React.js, GraphQL, Python, Go) while modeling best-in-class engineering practices.
