JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase · Banking · Jersey City, NJ +1 · Commercial & Investment Bank

Lead Software Engineer focused on deploying and serving ML models in a cloud-native environment, with an emphasis on AI-assisted engineering practices and responsible AI use.

What you'd actually do

  1. Regularly provides technical guidance and direction to support the business and its technical teams, contractors, and vendors
  2. You will be responsible for deploying and serving end to end ML models.
  3. Deploy and maintain services in a fully cloud native environment.
  4. 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.
  5. Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others
