ROLE OVERVIEW
As a Software Engineer III at JPMorganChase within the AI/ML Technology, you will be a hands-on engineer responsible for building and shipping production software with a strong focus on AI-enabled capabilities. You will work across the full software development lifecycle—from requirements clarification and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. You will develop backend services in Python, build APIs and microservices, implement LLM-based solutions including agentic workflows, and deliver into a multi-cloud environment using Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. This role offers you the opportunity to grow your expertise in applied AI engineering while contributing to systems that operate at enterprise scale.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Deliver software through a disciplined software development lifecycle, working from well-defined requirements through design, implementation, testing, release, and production support
- Write maintainable Python code with unit and integration tests, debugging issues across application, API, data-access, and runtime layers
- Implement LLM-driven workflows including prompting, tool and function calling, routing, orchestration, and state handling to support multi-step agentic task execution
- Build and maintain inference-time integrations such as model gateways, APIs, caching, fallbacks, timeouts, and concurrency controls for production AI systems
- Implement retrieval-augmented generation components where applicable, including chunking, embeddings, retrieval, and grounding strategies
- Build REST and gRPC endpoints following agreed contracts, implementing authentication and authorization integration, input validation, error handling, and secure data handling practices
- Implement SQL-backed business logic powering APIs and microservices, including joins, aggregations, filtering, pagination, and transactional workflows
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and Git workflows, packaging and deploying services using containers and Kubernetes with support for safe rollouts and rollbacks
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code using Terraform within established team patterns across modules, environments, and state management
- Improve operability of services by adding and using observability tooling including logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts, and participate in incident response and root-cause analysis
- 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
