Job Description

The Management Tools are a product line responsible for a number of operational tools built in the GTI (Global Technology Infrastructure) organization which underpin our cloud strategy and help our internal customers operate more resilient applications and infrastructure. These tools include firm-wide telemetry (Metrics, Logs, Alerts, Traces and Events), the dash-boarding capability used to visual this data and the infrastructure for transporting this data around the firm. We are a newly formed group and need to help the wider Global Technology community accelerate their move to public cloud by providing robust observability solutions for these internal customers.

The successful candidate will be a passionate, results-orientated technologist with a drive to work with people to create the right, modern solutions. Teamwork and collaboration are critical success factors for the role.

Role

• Reporting to the Cloud Engineering Lead, you will leverage your engineering and design skills to create observability solutions on the public cloud that make use of native platform capabilities, enhanced with additional tooling where necessary or required by the group’s customers.
• JPMC’s version of the public cloud will allow teams to operate within regulatory constraints and in a secure manner. Engineering observability solutions in this environment will require the successful candidate to draw upon both their knowledge of the public cloud, initially Amazon Web Services (AWS), and their experience building opinionated, pre-configured services through automation tooling that will allow solutions to operate in this opinionated architecture.
• You will build your knowledge of the rich set of vendors and open-source solutions in the observability domain, learning how to configure the most suitable products.
• Taking your understanding of the SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) mindset you will help design tools that meet the needs of this community. Understanding how to build it and run it is important.
• You will drive consistency across the tools developed by the group, applying architecture standards from the wider technology community and in turn helping to set standards for the domain.
• There are plenty of opportunities to connect with the wider engineering community at JPMC, for example presenting at internal conferences, taking part in Hackathons and talking to the Product Line’s SRE customers to help inform decision making.

Experience Required

• BS degree in Computer Science, or equivalent technical discipline
• Experience of working in strong software development teams with some experience of leading small items of work within the team
• Strong interpersonal and relationship management skills – able to engage with different stake holders and rapidly develop effective working relationships
• Hands-on software engineering experience of Java/Spring Boot and/or Python
• Experience working with a high quality SDLC process, including focus on peer review, testing, and automated deployment into a cloud environment
• Experience with AWS. Areas of particular interest would be observability tooling: CloudWatch as well as tooling such as CloudTrails & X-Ray but also Identity and Access Management (IAM) on AWS.
• Can demonstrate how to build secure applications, using tools to identify and remediate vulnerabilities and use modern techniques to control access to applications and APIs
• Experience with Terraform, particularly developing infrastructure as code solutions in an AWS environment
• Experience of presenting to other engineers on proposed designs and approaches
• Excellent communication and presentation skills (verbal and written)
• Strong technology background with experience of both development and support organizations, ideally within global financial institutions
• Excellent problem solving skills, ability to quickly broker solutions and resolve conflict situations
• Demonstrated experience in the Agile SDLC
