Senior Lead Software Engineer- Platform

Job Description
We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionise mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We're already trusted by millions in the US and we're quickly catching up in the UK - but how we do things here is a little different. We're building the bank of the future from scratch, channelling our start-up mentality every step of the way - meaning you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact.
As a platform engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the International Consumer Bank, you will be joining our Cloud Platform Engineering tribe, which is at the heart of a cutting-edge cloud-native AWS infrastructure that powers the Chase UK bank that is trusted by over 2 million customers. You will be exposed to a wide spectrum of platform technologies such as Kubernetes clusters, connectivity, databases. As well as numerous technologies in the SDLC and CICD space. This confers opportunities to create automations to eliminate toil and improve developer experience.
We're looking for people who have a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about new technology. By their nature, our people are also solution-oriented, commercially savvy and have a head for fintech. We work in tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects - and depending on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move among squads within the tribe.
This is a hybrid role that involves a mixture of people & team leadership and hands-on contributions. More specifically, it involves:

• Leading a team of engineers who develop tooling, with a focus on security and controls, to ensure Banking operations remain compliant with technical audit regulations.
• Interacting with stakeholders that focus on the control and compliance aspects of the platform
• Maintain and build a cloud platform for application developers and provide support to enforce controls in their SDLC and developer experience, with the minimum of manual intervention and maximum automation
• Manage and interact with vendors and other areas of the business to plan improvements and coordinate project efforts
• Participate in on-call rota

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Experience developing and maintaining applications in the public cloud (we use AWS)
• Experience managing public cloud infrastructure using infra-as-code technologies (we use Terraform)
• Good knowledge of Kubernetes clusters' operations and deployment (we use EKS)
• Good knowledge of programming using a modern language (Java/Python/Go)
• Principal engineer's experience comfortable designing solutions at scale
• Excellent understanding of DevOps principles and SDLC best practices
• Able to influence peers and seniors in various forums
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Experience managing a 5-8 people squad

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and skills
