Job responsibilities

  • Lead the design and delivery of complex web UI features using React and TypeScript, aligned to a shared design system and platform standards.
  • Define front-end architecture patterns (state management, API integration, error handling, routing, micro-frontend patterns where applicable) and drive adoption through code reviews and reference implementations.
  • Own UI quality and operational readiness: automated testing strategy, performance optimization, accessibility compliance, and production telemetry/monitoring.
  • Drive CI/CD maturity for UI (linting, unit/component/e2e tests, quality gates, build optimization, release automation) and improve developer productivity.
  • Use JPMorganChase-approved AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude AI where approved) to accelerate development/change work (refactoring, test generation, documentation) with rigorous human validation.
  • Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
  • Applies 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.
  • Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems
  • Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
  • Strong hands-on experience building enterprise web applications with React and TypeScript, including advanced component architecture.
  • Proven ability to lead UI technical design and mentor engineers through reviews, pairing, and standards/best practices.
  • Strong experience with UI testing (e.g., Jest/React Testing Library/Cypress/Playwright) and systematic debugging of complex issues.
  • Proven experience implementing and improving CI/CD for front-end applications with automated quality gates.
  • Disciplined experience using AI coding assistants (Claude AI or equivalent where approved) with verification, secure usage practices, and maintainable output.
  • Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
  • Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
  • Proficient in all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle
  • Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security
  • In-depth knowledge of the financial services industry and their IT systems, Practical cloud native experience

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • Experience with design systems at scale (component libraries, theming/tokens, governance) and cross-team adoption.
  • Experience with performance engineering (profiling, bundle analysis, code splitting, caching) and accessibility auditing (WCAG).
  • Experience with modern UI architecture patterns (micro-frontends/module federation, BFF patterns, SSR frameworks such as Next.js).
  • Experience with observability for web apps (RUM, client logging, tracing/correlation with backend signals).
  • Track record of improving delivery metrics (release frequency, defect escape, flaky test reduction) and establishing reusable “golden path” tooling/templates.
