We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionize mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We’re already trusted by millions in the US and we’re quickly catching up in the UK – but how we do things here is a little different. We’re building the bank of the future from scratch, channeling our start-up mentality every step of the way – meaning you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact.
As a Senior Lead Mobile Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the International Consumer Bank, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering our native mobile platform across iOS and Android. This is an architect-level, hands-on leadership role: you’ll define the technical direction, contribute directly to production code, and provide day-to-day technical leadership for both the iOS and Android teams.
Job Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the end-to-end mobile architecture across iOS and Android, including app modularization, cross-cutting platform capabilities, and long-term scalability.
- Provide technical leadership across both mobile teams (iOS and Android): set standards, drive alignment, and ensure consistent implementation of shared patterns and practices.
- Remain hands-on: build and review core platform components, unblock complex engineering challenges, and contribute to key customer journeys.
- Partner with Product, Design, Backend, Security, Risk, and QA to translate business goals into robust technical solutions and delivery plans.
- Define and enforce a high bar for engineering excellence: code quality, maintainability, security, performance, accessibility, and reliability.
- Establish and improve mobile SDLC practices: planning, development, peer review, testing, release management, and operational support.
- Lead the mobile testing and quality strategy (unit/integration/UI automation) and drive measurable improvements in stability and release confidence.
- Own mobile build/release and operational maturity: CI/CD pipelines, distribution, feature flags, observability, crash/performance monitoring, and incident response.
- Mentor and coach engineers; support team growth through feedback, technical guidance, and strong engineering culture.
- Communicate clearly with senior stakeholders on technical trade-offs, progress, risks, and dependencies.
