AWS Lead Software Engineer-Full Stack/Java/Spark

We have an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you to take your software engineering career to the next level.

As an AWS Lead Software Engineer-Full Stack/Java/Spark at JPMorgan Chase within the Corporate Sector's Risk Technology team, you will set the technical direction and orchestrate delivery for a dynamic engineering team. You will partner closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, clarify scope, and translate objectives into high-quality, scalable solutions. You'll lead by example-innovating through modern engineering practices, elevating team standards, and ensuring predictable delivery from discovery through production support.

Job responsibilities
• Lead a multi-disciplinary agile team, setting clear goals, engineering standards, and delivery plans. Mentor and coach engineers, grow talent, and foster a culture of craftsmanship, ownership, and psychological safety. Drive architectural decisions, design reviews, and technical governance; ensure alignment with long-term platform strategy.
• Facilitate requirement gathering, story mapping, and scope definition with stakeholders; translate business needs into technical roadmaps. Own estimation, dependency management, and risk mitigation; maintain a healthy backlog and release plan. Communicate status and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders; ensure transparency on delivery and quality.
• Design and build new applications with modern, cloud-native architectures; modernize legacy systems for resilience and performance. Implement batch and real-time components following best practices for reliability, security, operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and performance. Establish and enforce quality gates: code reviews, automated unit/integration/acceptance tests, and secure-by-default patterns.
• Ensure strong CI/CD discipline, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments. Own production health with robust observability (metrics, logs, traces), incident response, and postmortems. Provide and coordinate Level 2 support; reduce toil and mean time to recovery through engineering improvements.
• Champion experimentation and continuous learning; introduce pragmatic innovations that improve developer experience and customer outcomes. Participate and lead agile ceremonies: standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, retrospectives.

• Contribute to a team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect.
