Sr Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Infra Platforms

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer Lead at JPMorgan Chase within Infrastructure Platforms, you will provide infrastructure solution design and delivery, ensuring platforms are secure, resilient, scalable, and compliant. As a lead within our Infrastructure Engineering team, you'll partner with application teams and technology partners to translate business and technology requirements into implementable infrastructure designs, proactively mitigate operational and delivery risk, and drive engineering standards across environments.

Job Responsibilities

• Infrastructure Solution Design:  Lead the design and architecture of infrastructure solutions across compute, storage, network, and virtualization platforms, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and business objectives.
• Technical Leadership:  Provide technical direction, mentor team members, and facilitate cross-team design reviews to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to best practices.
• Project Delivery:  Drive infrastructure initiatives from concept to production, including build, migration, upgrade, and decommission activities. Oversee project timelines, resource allocation, and stakeholder communication.
• Operational Excellence:  Establish and enforce runbooks, monitoring and alerting standards, capacity planning, and operational readiness criteria. Continuously improve incident prevention, detection, and response measures.
• Risk Management:  Proactively identify infrastructure risks such as resiliency gaps, single points of failure, capacity constraints, and security exposures. Develop and execute risk mitigation plans, including architectural changes and remediation roadmaps.
• Incident Management:  Lead or contribute to incident post-mortems, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective and preventive actions to enhance platform reliability.
• Requirements Translation:  Translate business requirements into engineering requirements and technical designs, ensuring solutions align with technology strategy, roadmaps, and architectural guardrails.
• Security & Compliance:  Ensure infrastructure designs incorporate security-by-design principles, including identity and access controls, encryption, segmentation, patching, vulnerability management, and auditability. Support governance activities such as risk assessments, control reviews, technology lifecycle management, and change management.

• Technology Evaluation:  Evaluate technology products and services, contribute to selection decisions, and guide implementation and integration to optimize platform capabilities.
