Out of the successful launch of Chase in 2021, we're a new team, with a new mission. We're creating products that solve real world problems and put customers at the center - all in an environment that nurtures skills and helps you realize your potential. Our team is key to our success. We're people-first. We value collaboration, curiosity and commitment.
As a Senior Lead Software Engineer (Platform) at JPMorgan Chase within the Accelerator Business Platform Team, you are the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers.

In this senior lead role, you set technical direction across squads, raise engineering standards, and mentor and grow other technical leaders.
While we're looking for professional skills, culture is just as important to us.
