Lead Front-end Engineer

We are building out the Wholesale Credit Risk Core Platform which will be the software platform for all of Wholesale Credit Risk Technology, providing standardized best-in-class deployment strategies, common services and components, controls, testing practices, alerting, and monitoring.

As a Lead Front-end Engineer  at JPMorgan Chase within the Risk Technology team, you will be a key player in an agile team, tasked with designing and delivering secure, stable, and scalable market-leading technology products. Your role involves implementing critical technology solutions across various technical areas within different business functions to support the firm's business objectives. Our primary front-end technologies include Javascript, Typescript, and React, which interface with a Spring Boot back-end and are deployed to Kubernetes-based platforms on both private and public clouds. A significant part of your role will be to ensure that our deployments, conducted via a build server, are efficient and well-controlled. 

We primarily use Javascript, Typescript, and React as our main front-end technologies, interfacing with a Spring Boot back-end and deploying to Kubernetes-based platforms on both private and public cloud.  We have a heavy focus on ensuring that our deployments, via a build server, are both efficient and well-controlled.
