Our Back-End Engineering team is at the heart of this venture, focused on getting a great banking experience into the hands of our customers - and shaping the engineering culture that builds it.

At JPMorgan Chase, we understand that customers seek exceptional value and a seamless experience from a trusted financial institution. That's why we launched Chase UK to transform digital banking with intuitive and enjoyable customer journeys. With a strong foundation of trust established by millions of customers in the US, we have been rapidly expanding our presence in the UK and soon across Europe. We have been building the bank of the future from the ground up, offering you the chance to join us and make a significant impact.

You will work in a collaborative environment as part of a diverse, inclusive, and geographically distributed team. We are seeking individuals with a curious mindset and a keen interest in new technology. Our engineers are naturally solution-oriented and possess an interest in the financial sector and focus on addressing customer needs. We work in teams focused on specific products and projects, providing opportunities to engage in areas such as fraud & financial crime prevention, identity services, money transfers, card payments, lending, customer onboarding, core banking, insurance products, rewards campaigns, and servicing innovations.

Beyond delivering software, you will act as an Engineering Community Lead - a force multiplier across the wider organization. You will drive our Engineering Community pillars of Career Development, Culture, Team Operational Model, and Collaboration, helping raise the bar on how we hire, grow, share knowledge, and set technical standards across the wider organization.
