Lead Software Engineer -AI

Job Description

As a Senior Software Engineer — AI, you will build and ship production-grade, multi-agent AI systems used daily by thousands of engineers. You’ll work on an applied AI platform that automates key stages of the software delivery pipeline—from PRD through architecture, implementation, QA, security, and retrospective—at enterprise scale. You will own agent capabilities end-to-end, with a focus on reliability, evaluation, observability, and cost-per-session. This is not a research or data science role—you will engineer production systems that consistently follow specifications.

Job Responsibilities

• As a Lead Software Engineer in AI with CCB at JPMorgan Chase you will develop complex and scalable frameworks using appropriate software design, including durable and reusable frameworks leveraged across teams and functions.
• Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others; engineers systems with clear failure modes, retry strategies, and robust operational behavior.
• Leads cross-functional teams on technological matters within domain of expertise while acting as the function’s go-to subject matter expert.
• Contributes to the development of technical methods in specialized fields in line with the latest product development methodologies, including pragmatic AI engineering practices.
• Builds and maintains evaluation and quality mechanisms to detect regressions, measure specification/acceptance-criteria compliance, and surface behavior changes across model or dependency updates.
