JOB DESCRIPTION
Your expertise in cloud infrastructure and data platforms can shape how an entire enterprise accesses, processes, and trusts its data. At JPMorganChase, we build platforms that operate at a scale few organizations ever encounter — and we do it with a team that values craftsmanship, collaboration, and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to grow your skills, deepen your cloud and data platform expertise, and make a direct impact on solutions that matter to the business and the people it serves.
As a Software Engineer III at JPMorganChase within the Cloud Data Platform team, you will be hands-on designing, provisioning, and operating a modern cloud data platform built on AWS and Databricks. You will partner with data engineers, security, and platform teams to deliver infrastructure that is scalable, secure, and production-ready. Your work will enable reliable, well-governed analytics workloads that drive insight and decision-making across the firm.
