Lead Software Engineer for Android development within JPMorgan Chase's payment technology team. The role involves enhancing, building, and delivering technology products, focusing on executing software solutions, design, development, and troubleshooting. A key aspect is driving team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality and delivery speed, while ensuring validation standards and responsible AI use. The role requires strong Android development skills, including Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and architectural patterns like MVI/MVVM.

What you'd actually do

  1. Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problems
  2. Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others
  3. Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
  4. Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
  5. Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems
