Be an integral part of an agile team thats constantly pushing the envelope to enhance build and deliver top-notch technology products.

As a Senior Lead Software Engineer - Java Spring API AWS at JPMorgan Chase within our Corporate sectors Global Finance Technology team you will play a pivotal role in an agile team focused on developing secure stable and scalable technology products. You will leverage your technical expertise to solve complex challenges across various technologies and applications significantly impacting the business. Your responsibilities include contributing production-quality code writing tests performing code reviews and engaging in pair programming. You will design and deliver secure microservices and web applications using Java/Spring Boot and React while also handling deep debugging and performance tuning. You will oversee the end-to-end build-and-run process ensuring high-quality service delivery. As a technical leader you will set engineering standards and provide guidance on architecture code quality and operational excellence. You will act as a subject matter expert in microservices CI/CD and performance engineering while championing SDLC practices. Additionally you will evaluate and introduce technologies to enhance reliability scalability and cost efficiency. Your role will also involve embedding non-functional requirements into designs and fostering an inclusive team culture through mentorship and continuous improvement.

Job responsibilities

• Lead by example: contribute productionquality code daily write tests perform code reviews and pair program.
• Design and deliver secure highquality microservices and web applications with Java/Spring Boot and React; own deep debugging rootcause analysis and performance tuning for high-availability services.
• Own endtoend buildandrun: design implement test deploy and operate services (you build it you run it).
• Provide technical leadership across teams; set engineering standards and coach on architecture code quality security and operational excellence.
• Act as SME for microservices CI/CD observability performance engineering and data modeling.
• Champion SDLC practices: test automation CI/CD securitybydefault quality gates and disciplined change management.
• Evaluate and introduce technologies that improve reliability scalability cost efficiency and auditability.
• Embed nonfunctional requirements (security scalability reliability observability cost) into designs; implement logging metrics tracing SLOs error budgets alerting and runbooks.
• Foster an inclusive team culture; mentor engineers and drive continuous improvement and craftsmanship.

Required qualifications capabilities and skills

• Formal training or certification in software engineering and 5 years of applied experience.
• Advanced proficiency in Java and Spring Boot; strong fundamentals design patterns and secure coding.
