We have an opportunity to impact your career and provide an adventure where you can push the limits of what's possible.

As a Lead Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Chief Technology Office’s Global Technology & Applied Research team, you serve as a seasoned member of an agile team to design and deliver production quality technology implementation in a secure, stable, and scalable way. You are responsible for carrying out critical technology solutions across multiple research areas within the team in support of the firm’s business objectives. You work in close collaboration with the quantum inspired algorithm research team.

Job responsibilities 

Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or break down technical problems Develops secure high-quality production code in C, C++, Python and other languages and reviews and debugs code written by others. Write high-quality documentation and unit tests for the software solutions Design and implement high-performance distributed executions of the software solutions and deploy them onto distributed platforms including multi-threaded CPUs, multiple CPUs and GPUs Optimize the software solutions for execution speed, memory efficiency and communication latency through algorithmic improvements and vectorization Work with the quantum-inspired algorithm researchers to identify bottlenecks in subroutines of the algorithms and devise methods to speed up the executions Identify dependencies in the code to ensure seamless execution in other environments    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 Leads communities of practice across Software Engineering to drive awareness and use of new and leading-edge technologies Adds to team culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect
