AI Engineer - Software Engineer III

JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase · Banking · Jersey City, NJ +1 · Corporate Sector

AI Engineer at JPMorgan Chase responsible for designing and implementing agentic AI platforms and LLM-enabled services for enterprise use cases. This role involves building production-grade AI systems, including agents, skills, memory patterns, guardrails, and tool-use orchestration, with a focus on retrieval-augmented generation, cloud-native services on AWS, and system quality through evaluation and observability.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and implement components of scalable, reliable agentic AI platforms for enterprise workflows
  2. Build production-grade AI systems including agents, skills, memory patterns, guardrails, and tool-use orchestration
  3. Implement retrieval and context-engineering patterns including embeddings, semantic search, grounding, summarization, and prompt/version management
  4. Engineer cloud-native services on AWS using containers, serverless compute, and event-driven messaging patterns
  5. Optimize latency, throughput, scalability, caching, context efficiency, and cost across large language model workloads

Skills

Required

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 3+ years applied experience
  • Hands-on experience building and operating production large language model applications, including agentic patterns and tool integrations
  • Strong software engineering skills with experience delivering cloud-native services on AWS using containers and serverless architectures
  • Experience with retrieval-augmented generation approaches, including embeddings and semantic search, and practical context engineering
  • Proficiency building APIs and service integrations with strong attention to reliability, security, and performance
  • Experience establishing or contributing to evaluation, testing, and monitoring practices for AI system quality and reliability
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems, including asynchronous workflows and event-driven architectures
  • Strong collaboration skills with the ability to communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to partners
  • Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment
  • Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations

Nice to have

  • Experience deploying and operating workloads on Kubernetes-based platforms and container orchestration patterns
  • Experience with experimentation frameworks and automated regression testing for large language model quality
  • Familiarity with large language model cost governance and performance optimization techniques (for example, caching and context efficiency)
  • Experience implementing guardrail patterns that support safe, reliable AI behavior in production
  • Experience building reusable platform components and reference implementations adopted by multiple teams
