Your expertise in cloud infrastructure and data platforms can shape how an entire enterprise accesses, processes, and trusts its data. At JPMorganChase, we build platforms that operate at a scale few organizations ever encounter — and we do it with a team that values craftsmanship, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to grow your skills, deepen your cloud and data platform expertise, and make a direct impact on solutions that matter to the business and the people it serves.
As a Software Engineer III at JPMorganChase within the Cloud Data Platform team, you will be hands-on designing, provisioning, and operating a modern cloud data platform built on AWS and Databricks. You will partner with data engineers, security, and platform teams to deliver infrastructure that is scalable, secure, and production-ready. Your work will enable reliable, well-governed analytics workloads that drive insight and decision-making across the firm.
Job responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, including networking, security, compute, storage, and managed services, following infrastructure-as-code best practices
- Develop and manage Databricks platform capabilities — including workspaces, clusters, policies, jobs, libraries, and integrations — to support production-grade data workloads
- Build automation around platform provisioning and operations using Python or Java, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across environments
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform deployments, including Terraform plan/apply workflows, policy checks, and automated testing
- Implement security best practices across the platform, including least-privilege access controls, secrets management, encryption, network segmentation, and auditability
- Improve platform reliability through observability tooling — logging, metrics, and tracing — alongside alerting, incident response practices, and performance and cost optimization
- Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into scalable platform designs, and document standards, patterns, and runbooks for team-wide use
- Leverage enterprise-authorized AI coding assist tools within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and productivity (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit test creation, documentation), while validating outputs through peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards
- Apply knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and proficient applied experience
- Strong hands-on experience provisioning AWS infrastructure with Terraform, including modules, remote state, workspace/environment management, and change management workflows
- Solid experience with core AWS services relevant to cloud data platforms, such as VPC, IAM, S3, EC2/ECS/EKS, RDS, KMS, CloudWatch, and load balancing
- Working experience with Databricks, including platform administration and/or building and supporting production workloads
- Proficiency in Python (preferred) or Java, with demonstrated ability to build automation, tooling, and platform integrations
- Experience with Git-based workflows and CI/CD practices applied to infrastructure and platform delivery
- Strong troubleshooting skills across cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and data or platform pipelines
- Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, testing, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate and validate AI-generated outputs
- Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Experience with data lakehouse architectures using Delta Lake, Apache Spark, or similar open-source frameworks
- Familiarity with AWS-native data services such as Glue, Lake Formation, Redshift, or Athena
- Exposure to data governance practices including cataloging, lineage tracking, and data access control at the platform layer
- AWS certification(s) in cloud architecture, data, security, or DevOps disciplines
- Experience working in regulated industries where security, auditability, and compliance are core platform requirements
