We embrace a culture of experimentation, continuous learning, and disciplined engineering execution.

As a Software Engineer of JPMorgan Chase within Commercial and Investment Bank (CIB), you will design and deliver production-grade applications and platform capabilities that embed LLM-enabled workflows into core systemsâ€backed by strong guardrails, observability, and governance. You will partner closely with Business, Operations, Risk, and Technology stakeholders to translate intent into scalable, auditable solutions with clear, actionable outcomes.

Job responsibilities

• Build and operate resilient backend services and APIs that power enterprise workflows and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Integrate LLM/prompt capabilities into production services with guardrails, fallback paths, response validation, and clear auditability.
• Design service interfaces with strong API contract management, versioning, and integration patterns.
• Implement retrieval patterns (e.g., RAG) and orchestration workflows using LangChain or similar frameworks, connecting models to approved enterprise data sources and APIs (subject to firm-approved tooling).
• Implement and optimize vector search/embedding solutions (e.g., pgvector or equivalent) including indexing strategy, metadata filtering, hybrid search, and production scaling (subject to firm-approved tooling).
• Build intuitive user experiences for AI-powered applications and dashboards using modern front-end frameworks (React preferred).
• Design and manage persistence layers using relational and/or NoSQL databases apply strong data modeling and schema design.
• Apply event-driven and asynchronous processing patterns where appropriate ensure reliability and idempotency.
• Build CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and environment promotion controls drive repeatable, safe delivery.
• Implement robust testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end), establish strong observability (logs, metrics, tracing, alerting), diagnose performance/reliability issues in live systems, and translate ambiguous requirements into clear technical designs and deliverables with effective stakeholder communication.
