As a Lead Software Engineer - Databricks/PySpark/AI at JPMorganChase within the Corporate Sector-Global Finance team, you will serve as a senior hands‑on developer and technical leader within an agile team, responsible for building, delivering, and optimizing cutting‑edge data products that power agentic AI systems - autonomous AI agents capable of planning, reasoning, and executing multi‑step tasks. In this role, you will write production‑quality code daily, drive implementation of essential technology solutions including data infrastructure, tool integrations, and retrieval systems that enable AI agents to access, interpret, and act on enterprise data in support of the firm's business goals. You will be expected to mentor junior engineers, collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders, and champion engineering excellence through hands‑on delivery.

Job Responsibilities

Building orchestration and state management layers that support multi‑step agent workflows, including memory, context persistence, and task chaining.

Mentoring and guiding junior and mid‑level engineers through pairing, code reviews, and technical coaching.

Evaluating and adopting emerging agentic AI frameworks, tools, and data engineering practices to continuously improve the team's development capabilities.

Building and optimizing data pipelines and workflows that serve as the backbone for agentic AI systems, ensuring agents have reliable, real‑time access to high‑quality, structured and unstructured data

Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root‑cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.

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.

Developing data retrieval and indexing layers that enable AI agents to autonomously search, query, and synthesize information across multiple data sources

Building and maintaining tool‑use infrastructure — APIs, data services, and function endpoints — that AI agents invoke to execute tasks, retrieve data, and interact with enterprise systems

Implementing and enforcing best practices for data management, ensuring data quality, security, and compliance, including governance of data consumed and generated by autonomous AI agents

Hands‑on development of secure, high‑quality production code following AWS best practices, and deploying efficiently using CI/CD pipelines

Writing and reviewing code daily, conducting thorough code reviews, and raising the technical bar across the team

Collaborating with product owners, data scientists, and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into working, production‑ready agentic AI solutions

Experience building APIs, data services, and retrieval systems that serve as the connective tissue between AI agents and enterprise data

Spark and SQL

Strong hands‑on experience with Lakehouse/Delta Lake architecture, application development, testing, and ensuring operational stability; Snowflake, Terraform and LLMs; Data Observability, Data Quality, Query Optimization & Cost Optimization

In‑depth knowledge of Big Data and data warehousing concepts at enterprise scale

Extensive experience with CI/CD processes and automated testing frameworks

Solid understanding of agile methodologies, including DevOps practices, application resiliency, and security measures

Understanding of agentic AI concepts — how autonomous AI agents plan, reason, use tools, and execute multi‑step workflows — and the data infrastructure required to support them

Experience building APIs, data services, and retrieval systems that serve as the connective tissue between AI agents and enterprise data

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills

Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience

Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.

Strong 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 coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices

Expert‑level programming skills in Python/PySpark with a strong portfolio of production‑grade code

Extensive hands‑on experience with Databricks and the AWS cloud ecosystem, including AWS Glue, S3, SQS/SNS, Lambda

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills

Experience with agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Assistants API) and understanding of how data engineering underpins agent orchestration

Familiarity with tool‑use and function‑calling patterns for LLM‑based agents, including building and exposing APIs and data endpoints that agents can invoke autonomously

Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Chroma) and embedding workflows for powering agent memory, semantic search, and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG)

Exposure to agent memory and state management patterns — short‑term context windows, long‑term persistent memory stores, and conversation/task history management

Familiarity with guardrails and safety frameworks for autonomous AI systems, including input/output validation, action approval workflows, and human‑in‑the‑loop controls

Understanding of observability and monitoring for agentic systems — tracing agent decision paths, logging tool invocations, and debugging multi‑step autonomous workflows

Understanding of responsible AI principles, particularly around autonomous decision‑making, data provenance, and auditability of agent actions
