AI Engineer Lead Software Engineer

As an Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within Enterprise Technology you will lead the architecture and hands-on implementation of scalable large language model systems and agentic AI platforms for enterprise use cases leveraging LLM Suite. You will design cloud-native solutions establish evaluation and observability standards and drive technical decisions across teams to improve reliability cost and developer velocity. LLM Suite is JPMorganChases premier internally built AI tool leveraged by 250k employees for everything from individual productivity to larger scale business solutions.

Build and scale production AI platforms that turn large language model capabilities into reliable secure and measurable business outcomes. You will partner across product and engineering teams to design architectures ship reusable capabilities and raise quality through strong engineering practices and technical leadership.
