JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA Hiring for Software Engineer – Information Architecture Job at London, England Full Time

This is a Software Engineer role in the Corporate Investment Bank Information Architecture team. CIB IAs customers and collaborators include other members of CIB IA, other Information Architects and Developers in other parts of CIB, and other Lines of Business, such as Global Technology.

CIB IA has a wide Data Management agenda, and key elements of this include having a well-defined meta-model (defining what a valid model is), having Information Architects create valid models, and being able to forward-engineer assets from these models. Our data models are less “diagrams for discussion”, and are more a higher-level specification of data, behavior and associated componentry.

Effective forward-engineering of models into assets implies a good understanding of the source metamodel and a good understanding of the target language(s). Therefore a successful candidate will need to be literate at reading and interpreting data models and be able to become intimately familiar with target languages and their supporting ecosystems of libraries and tools. Of particular interest are libraries and tools relating to validation, serialization/deserialization, API implementation and persistence.

The successful candidate will be expected to help with the specification of how to map models to assets, and with the implementation of tools capable of doing so.

CIB IA also develops solutions covering other aspects of Data Management. Some assist with the classification of data, and to support the ability to reason with the data classification data collected. Others can involve integration with other metadata sources.

Working in this area, in this environment, will provide exposure to Information Architecture as a discipline, and a higher-level view of data and processing than is normally found in a Development role. This role therefore represents a great growth opportunity.
