The Team:
 
The role provides the opportunity to join the exciting “Markets Execution” responsible for transforming the CIB by building digital products which tap into emerging trends, technologies, electronic platforms, and partnerships. Led by David Hudson, Markets Execution will transform the way we, and our clients, do business. The team is thoughtful in balancing due diligence with speed to market and creativity with discipline in order to produce best-in-class, efficient, thoughtful digital solutions for our clients. 

About the Platform Offering:
 
The role is an opportunity to become a key contributor to the “J.P. Morgan Developer (https://developer.jpmorgan.com)” platform, an exciting and growing platform offering within Markets Execution’s “CIB Digital Products and Services” team. The platform is providing a best-in-class experience for Client and JPMC technologists to discover and connect to APIs and other micro-services, as well as a highly performant API distribution and commercialization infrastructure.

Publicly launched in February of this year, this new platform is experiencing exciting growth and is looking to grow the passionate team focused on delivering transformative API-based business solutions while pushing the platform forward.

This platform provides a centralized view of APIs across businesses and enables internal and external developers to discover API specifications, access testing tools, manage on-boarding and support. The portal is the central registry for all API services and it provides publishing tools which makes it easy for application teams to document and distribute their APIs.
