Sr Lead Software Engineer - AWS - Lead AI/ML Platform Engineer

Be an integral part of an agile team that's constantly pushing the envelope to enhance, build, and deliver top-notch technology products. As a Senior Lead Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the Firmwide AI/ML Deployment Platform team, you are an integral part of a globally distributed team — spanning Glasgow, London, New Jersey, and India — that works to architect, build, and own the infrastructure that makes model deployment work at scale. You'll operate with significant autonomy: owning technical direction, engaging directly with US-based clients, and making architectural decisions with real production consequences. We build the control plane, APIs, monitoring, and deployment infrastructure that internal teams depend on. The platform is always evolving — new regions, new failure modes, new scale requirements. If you like owning problems end-to-end, making hard tradeoffs, and shipping systems that other engineers build on top of, you'll fit in. Job responsibilities Drive architectural vision for platform components: control plane integration, multi-region deployment, and disaster recovery Design and implement APIs for retraining, scheduling, endpoint deployment, and autoscaling Build infrastructure for seamless integration across control plane and client accounts Engage directly with US-based clients — requirements, strategic solutioning, and debugging Make independent architectural decisions and own technical tradeoffs with minimal oversight Regularly provides technical guidance and direction to support the business and its technical teams, contractors, and vendors Drives decisions that influence the product design, application functionality, and technical operations and processes Drives adoption and governance of approved AI-assisted engineering practices across teams to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test acceleration, release readiness, incident/root-cause analysis), while establishing measurable validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of proven patterns and automation within the SDLC/TLM toolchain. Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including approved AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation at scale.
