Company: JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Apply for the Software Engineer III – Cloud Data Platform Engineering (AWS , Terraform & Databricks)
Location: London
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.

Job responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, including networking, security, compute, storage, and managed services, following infrastructure‑as‑code best practices
  • Develop and manage Databricks platform capabilities — including workspaces, clusters, policies, jobs, libraries, and integrations — to support production‑grade data workloads
  • Build automation around platform provisioning and operations using Python or Java, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across environments
  • Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform deployments, including Terraform plan/apply workflows, policy checks, and automated testing
  • Implement security best practices across the platform, including least‑privilege access controls, secrets management, encryption, network segmentation, and auditability
  • Improve platform reliability through observability tooling — logging, metrics, and tracing — alongside alerting, incident response practices, and performance and cost optimization
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into scalable platform designs, and document standards, patterns, and runbooks for team‑wide use
  • 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
  • Apply 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

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and proficient applied experience
  • Strong hands‑on experience provisioning AWS infrastructure with Terraform, including modules, remote state, workspace/environment management, and change management workflows
  • Solid experience with core AWS services relevant to cloud data platforms, such as VPC, IAM, S3, EC2/ECS/EKS, RDS, KMS, CloudWatch, and load balancing
  • Working experience with Databricks, including platform administration and/or building and supporting production workloads
  • Proficiency in Python (preferred) or Java, with demonstrated ability to build automation, tooling, and platform integrations
  • Experience with Git‑based workflows and CI/CD practices applied to infrastructure and platform delivery
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and data or platform pipelines
  • Hands‑on experience using enterprise‑authorized AI‑assisted software development tools within the work environment (e.g., for coding, testing, troubleshooting, or documentation) with demonstrated ability to critically evaluate and validate 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

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • Experience with data lakehouse architectures using Delta Lake, Apache Spark, or similar open‑source frameworks
  • Familiarity with AWS‑native data services such as Glue, Lake Formation, Redshift, or Athena
  • Exposure to data governance practices including cataloging, lineage tracking, and data access control at the platform layer
  • AWS certification(s) in cloud architecture, data, security, or DevOps disciplines
  • Experience working in regulated industries where security, auditability, and compliance are core platform requirements
