Come join the Firmwide Technology Resiliency group that is part of the JPMorgan Chase Cybersecurity & Technology Controls’ organization.

The group is tasked with ensuring the firm’s technology estate can maintain effective operations and support the ongoing, critical functioning of Essential Business Services in the face of today’s evolving threat landscape. 

As a Senior Director of Software Engineering at JPMorgan Chase within the Cybersecurity and Tech Controls team, you will leverage your expertise in designing and developing sophisticated modelling software to enhance cyber and business resiliency efforts. Collaborating closely with a quantitative data scientist, you will spearhead the creation of a Bayesian inference-based modelling platform aimed at forecasting the risk and business consequences of potential disruptive events. This pivotal role plays a crucial part in guiding strategic decisions related to cyber defence, business continuity planning, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience.

Job responsibilities

Leads multiple technology and process implementations across departments to achieve firmwide technology objectivesProvides leadership and high-level direction to teams while frequently overseeing employee populations across multiple platforms, divisions, and lines of businessActs as the primary interface with senior leaders, stakeholders, and executives, driving consensus across competing objectivesDesign and develop scalable, production-grade software for risk modelling, inference engines, and simulation frameworksCollaborate with cybersecurity teams, risk analysts, data scientists and resiliency stakeholders to define model inputs, risk scenarios, and system architecture requirementsTranslate mathematical and statistical models (e.g. Bayesian networks, probabilistic graphical models) into performant software modules.Develop data ingestion and transformation pipelines to source data from internal systems and threat intelligence sourcesLead the architecture design for modular, explainable, and extensible risk modelling systemsEnsure robustness, auditability, and version control of all models and underlying code per company and regulatory standardsBuild APIs and tools that enable integration with business intelligence dashboards, threat platforms, GRC systems and reporting pipelinesPartner with enterprise risk and enterprise control management teams to ensure the model outputs are interpretable and actionable for executive decision-makers

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
