Lead Infrastructure Engineer-Network Engineer

Overview

Assume a vital position as a key member of a high-performing team that delivers infrastructure and performance excellence. Your role will be instrumental in shaping the future at one of the world's largest and most influential companies. As a Lead Infrastructure Engineer within the Infrastructure Platforms, Network Services team at JPMorgan Chase, you apply deep knowledge of software, applications, and technical processes within the infrastructure engineering discipline and continue to evolve your technical and cross-functional knowledge outside of your domain.

Responsibilities

• Drives a workstream or project consisting of one or more infrastructure engineering technologies and collaborates with other platforms to drive changes required to resolve issues and modernize the organization and technology processes.
• Consider upstream and downstream data and systems or technical implications and advise on mitigation actions.
• Apply technical expertise and problem-solving methodologies to projects of moderate scope and execute creative solutions for design, development, and technical troubleshooting for problems of moderate complexity.
• Partner with risk, audit, and compliance. Translate regulatory requirements into sound engineering decisions. Serve as subject matter expert to internal auditors and regulators where appropriate.
• Develop other engineers. Mentor across the team on technical depth and engineering judgment. Lead architecture reviews, ADRs, and design discussions. Help identify and grow the next generation of senior engineers — even though you will not line-manage them.
• Use enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate infrastructure analysis and design documentation, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
• Apply reuse-first, AI-assisted practices within delivery and automation routines to identify recurring issues and validate remediation options, ensuring changes are traceable, auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security expectations.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills

• Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience.
• Deep knowledge of one specific infrastructure technology and scripting languages.
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and multiple cloud technologies with the ability to operate in and migrate across public and private clouds.
• Deep knowledge of one or more areas of infrastructure engineering such as: hardware, networking terminology, databases, storage engineering, deployment practices, integration, automation, scaling, resilience or performance assessments.
• Curiosity and systems thinking. You ask the right questions, hold the broader picture in view, and can explain how interconnected systems fit together.
• Network fabric and connectivity — design and operational depth in routing, switching, wireless, and WAN across preferred technologies.
• Security, edge and segmentation — experience securing the perimeter and enforcing Zero Trust segmentation using preferred technologies.
• Engineering toolchain proficiency—ability to automate, version-control, and observe network/infrastructure services using modern engineering practices.
• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support infrastructure engineering workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• Ability to review and validate AI-assisted recommendations before implementation, escalating when uncertain and ensuring outcomes align to resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Network fabric and connectivity: Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Juniper Mist, Cisco/Viptela, Fortinet; BGP, OSPF, MPLS, EVPN/VXLAN, SD-WAN; enterprise Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6E / Wi-Fi 7), 5G / private cellular.
• Security, edge and segmentation: Palo Alto, Zscaler; IPsec, TLS, ZTNA, micro-segmentation.
• Engineering toolchain: Python, Ansible, Terraform, Git, GitHub Actions / Jenkins; ThousandEyes, Splunk, Grafana, Wireshark.
• AI as an engineering tool: comfort using approved AI assistants to accelerate analysis, scripting, documentation, and troubleshooting; we are looking for engineers who use AI tooling as a force multiplier — not engineers who build AI/ML systems.
