This is a hands-on leadership role for an engineer who sets direction rather than waits for it. You will define how engineers discover, build, ship, and operate software-through a unified developer portal, first-class observability and monitoring, and safe, controlled feature delivery. You will set standards, build the paved roads and self-service tooling that make the right thing the easy thing, and influence architectural decisions as a peer to senior engineering leaders. If you want real ownership, deep technical challenges, and the chance to raise the bar for an entire organization, this is the role for you.\nJob responsibilities\nOwn the technical strategy and roadmap for the internal developer platform, delivering a unified developer portal (e.g., Backstage-style) with software catalog, service ownership, golden-path templates, and self-service scaffolding that teams adopt with minimal specialist support\nSet technical direction for observability and monitoring standards across the portfolio-structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, SLOs, and error budgets-and drive adoption through scorecards and release-readiness gates\nBuild the observability platform and paved roads that make instrumentation a default, correlating signals across logs, metrics, traces, real user monitoring, and synthetic monitoring to surface service health and portfolio-level risk\nDefine and own the feature-flagging and progressive-delivery strategy, including flag lifecycle governance, safe rollout and rollback patterns, experimentation, and controls that reduce release risk at scale\nEstablish platform standards for service onboarding, dependency and ownership metadata, scorecards, and tech-health signals surfaced directly in the developer portal\nDeliver self-service tooling and inner-sourced frameworks that shift operability, instrumentation, and release safety earlier in the development lifecycle\nInfluence standards, architectural decisions, and release readiness as a peer to senior engineering leaders, and coach application teams on adopting resilient, operable, platform-first engineering practices\nArchitects and governs agentic AI-enabled engineering workflows (using enterprise-authorized tools within the work environment) to improve delivery speed, code quality, and operational outcomes at scale (e.g., AI-driven PR review assistance, test generation/maintenance, release readiness checks, incident triage and root-cause acceleration), while defining guardrails for validation, security, resiliency, and reuse across teams\nApplies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation at scale\nRequired qualifications, capabilities, and skills\nExtensive engineering experience (typically 15+ years overall) with 8+ years in developer platform engineering, observability/SRE, or large-scale internal tooling for high-traffic distributed systems\nDemonstrated experience scaling engineering practices across large organizations (500+ engineers) through self-service platforms, paved roads, maturity models, and adoption playbooks\nHands-on experience designing and operating an internal developer portal and software catalog (e.g., Backstage or equivalent), including golden paths, templates, and plugin/extension development\nDeep expertise in observability and monitoring-structured logging, metrics, and distributed tracing across request chains-using tools such as Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, or Kibana, including continuous profiling approaches\nHands-on experience designing and governing feature-flag and progressive-delivery systems (e.g., LaunchDarkly, Unleash, or equivalent), including flag lifecycle management, canary/blue-green rollouts, and automated rollback\nHands-on software engineering proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with strong familiarity in modern front-end ecosystems such as React and server-side rendering\nStrong CI/CD and DevOps experience, embedding operability, instrumentation, and quality gates into pipelines with environment-aware execution and enforceable release-readiness checks\nKubernetes and cloud platform experience (e.g., Amazon EKS on AWS), including infrastructure as code and operational cost awareness\nProven ability to influence senior technical leaders, communicate complex trade-offs clearly, set engineering standards, and drive platform adoption across many teams\nDemonstrated experience designing and leading adoption of agentic AI-enabled development practices (using enterprise-authorized tools within the work environment) across teams, including setting standards for human-in-the-loop validation, auditability/traceability of changes, and secure handling of sensitive data\nStrong understanding of responsible AI use and control expectations in engineering workflows, including security/resiliency implications, data sensitivity, and risk-based governance; ability to influence senior technical leaders on safe scaling patterns and reuse\nPreferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills\nExperience operating in financial-services scale, low-latency systems, and/or regulated environments\nExperience building developer-experience metrics and tech-health scorecards (e.g., DORA metrics) and driving measurable improvements in developer productivity\nExperience with front-end observability and performance signals, including Core Web Vitals, real user monitoring, and browser-based synthetic testing (e.g., Playwright or WebPageTest)\nFamiliarity with service mesh technologies and traffic-control patterns such as backpressure and circuit breaking\nStrong systems and cloud background, including Linux tooling, JVM tuning, containers, networking, and modern HTTP optimization\nExperience designing event-driven and streaming observability (e.g., Kafka) and payment-system operational telemetry\nPractical application of large language models and agent-based automation for incident triage, anomaly detection, automated reporting, or developer-portal workflows at scale\nThis position is subject to Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. As such, an employment offer for this position is contingent on JPMorgan Chase’s review of criminal conviction history, including pretrial diversions or program entries.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6801,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":15,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Forest Resources","Asset Management & Funds","Land & Agriculture Property"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T21:55:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.276,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":112,"expected_fill_days":4,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/campbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/campbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T16:47:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6238,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2649833},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2649833"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcampbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcampbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcampbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/campbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcampbell-global-principal-software-engineer-developer-platform-engineering"}]}
