The Lead Software Engineer (Backend) is expected to design, build and maintain secure, scalable services supporting JPMorgan Chase's banking platforms. Requirements typically include strong experience with Java or similar backend technologies, RESTful APIs, microservices, databases, cloud platforms, automated testing and CI/CD. The candidate should be comfortable leading technical design, reviewing code, troubleshooting production issues and working in an Agile team. Experience in financial services, distributed systems, DevOps, system architecture and security is advantageous. The role also requires clear communication, mentoring skills, sound engineering judgment and the ability to collaborate with product managers, architects and global technology teams while meeting strict quality, resilience and regulatory standards.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is one of the world's largest financial services organisations, serving individuals, businesses, institutions and governments. Headquartered in the United States, the company operates across consumer banking, commercial banking, investment banking, asset management and payments. Its technology organisation is a major part of the business, developing digital banking platforms, trading systems, cybersecurity solutions, data services and infrastructure used globally. JPMorgan Chase employs a large international workforce and maintains significant operations in Ireland, particularly in Dublin, where teams support technology, operations, risk, finance and investment banking activities. The company invests heavily in cloud engineering, artificial intelligence, software development and modernisation of its financial platforms. Employees typically work in collaborative, regulated environments where reliability, security, innovation and professional development are strongly emphasised.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, financial technology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, technology services and multinational business operations. Dublin is the main employment hub, while Cork, Galway and Limerick also have active technology and financial sectors. Irish workplaces are generally collaborative and informal, with direct communication and a healthy emphasis on work-life balance. The country provides attractive access to nature, coastal areas, music, sport and a lively social culture, although housing and rent can be expensive, especially in Dublin. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa. Other nationals normally need an employment permit, commonly a Critical Skills Employment Permit for senior technology roles, followed by immigration registration. Relocating candidates should arrange accommodation early, check tax and healthcare requirements, and confirm whether the employer supports permits, moving costs or temporary housing.
