Software Engineer II - Full Stack Engineer

You’re ready to gain the skills and experience needed to grow within your role and advance your career — and we have the perfect software engineering opportunity for you.

As a Software Engineer II – Full Stack Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within the Commercial & Investment Bank, you serve as a seasoned member of an agile team to design and deliver trusted market-leading technology products in a secure, stable, and scalable way.  You will also be a hands-on engineer on an Agile team building and operating Spring Boot microservices running on AWS (ECS Fargate or EKS) with Oracle and PostgreSQL (RDS), and a modern web UI built with React. You will design, develop, test, deploy, and support services in a secure, resilient, and observable production environment.  You are responsible for carrying out critical technology solutions across multiple technical areas within various business functions in support of the firm’s business objectives.

Job responsibilities

• Execute standard software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting
• Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across UI and backend services (React or Java 17 / Spring Boot).
• Develop and operate microservices including API design, service decomposition, and reliability patterns (timeouts, retries, idempotency, DLQs).
• Build integrations using AWS services such as API Gateway, SQS, SNS, S3, and RDS; troubleshoot production issues across services and infrastructure.
• Produce clear design/architecture artifacts (service boundaries, data flows, sequence diagrams, ADRs) and ensure implementation aligns with design constraints.
• Designs, develops, codes, and troubleshoots with consideration of upstream and downstream systems and technical implications
• 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
• Applies 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.
• Create secure and high-quality production code and maintains algorithms that run synchronously with appropriate systems
• Proactively identify hidden problems and patterns in data and uses these insights to drive improvements to coding hygiene and system architecture
• Add to team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 2+ years applied experience
• Proficiency with React (TypeScript, component architecture, state management, performance fundamentals).
• Experience with Java 17+ and Spring Boot, including Spring Data JPA / Hibernate (entity modeling, transactions, performance considerations like N+1, pagination).
• Hands-on deployment/operations with AWS ECS Fargate or Kubernetes/EKS, and container skills with Docker (image builds, runtime config, troubleshooting).
• Practical experience with API Gateway, SQS, SNS, S3, and relational databases on RDS.
• Proven experience with Oracle and PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query tuning, migrations).
• Experience with CI/CD, automated testing (unit/integration), observability (logs/metrics/traces), and application security (authn/authz basics, secrets handling, dependency scanning).
• Hands-on experience using enterprise-authorized AI-assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, test creation, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs.
• Understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations.
• Experience in developing, debugging, and maintaining code in a large corporate environment with one or more modern programming languages and database querying languages 
• Emerging knowledge of software applications and technical processes within a technical discipline (e.g. cloud, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mobile, etc.)

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience with event-driven architectures and message processing patterns (idempotency, DLQ handling, backoff/retry strategies)
• Infrastructure-as-Code exposure (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation/CDK) and production operations experience (incident response, on-call, postmortems)
• API design maturity (OpenAPI/Swagger, backward compatibility/versioning, contract testing)
• Performance tuning experience across UI, JVM, and database layers
• Strong grounding in OOP, design patterns, and microservices best practices
