Description

As a Data Engineer III at JPMorgan Chase Corporate Sector, you will be a key member of our agile Data Engineering team, designing and delivering trusted data collection, storage, access, and analytics solutions in a secure, stable, and scalable way. You will develop, test, and maintain critical data pipelines and architectures supporting the firm’s business objectives, with a primary focus on AWS Data Engineering and Databricks.

In this role, you will have autonomy to lead projects, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate closely with FinOps professionals to translate cost optimization strategies into technical solutions. Your ideas and contributions will be valued and considered as part of our team’s ongoing innovation.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL pipelines using AWS services (Lambda, Step Functions, S3 storage) and Databricks (Python, PySpark, SQL).
• Optimize data processing workflows leveraging Apache Spark and Delta Lake within Databricks.
• Integrate data from various sources (S3, databases, APIs) into Databricks and AWS data stores.
• Implement and manage data governance, security controls, and access policies using AWS IAM, encryption, and Databricks Unity Catalog.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and tune data pipelines for performance and reliability.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams using Databricks Repos and version control tools.

• Extensive experience across the data lifecycle, including data ingestion, transformation, storage, and analytics.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL (joins, aggregations) and working understanding of NoSQL databases.
• Significant experience with statistical data analysis and ability to determine appropriate tools and data patterns.
• Hands-on experience with AWS data engineering services (Lambda, S3, Redshift, RDS, DynamoDB).
• Experience implementing data governance and security controls in cloud environments.
• Proficiency in workflow orchestration and automation (AWS Step Functions, Airflow).
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to mentor junior engineers technically and lead projects with autonomy.
• Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support data engineering workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
• Ability to review and validate AI-assisted outputs (e.g., query suggestions, test ideas, or model change summaries) before use, escalating when uncertain and following data handling requirements.
• Advanced English skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Databricks, including ETL development, Spark optimization, and Delta Lake.
• Familiarity with Databricks Unity Catalog and Repos.
• Notion of FinOps and cloud cost optimization; willingness to work closely with FinOps professionals.
• Experience with monitoring tools (AWS CloudWatch, CloudTrail) and cost management dashboards.
• Financial services industry experience is a plus.
