JPMorgan Chase interview notes, page 4 of 7

Large Enterprises

Most of these JPMorgan Chase write-ups come from Software Engineers (56), then Product Managers (8) and Machine Learning Engineers (2). The most reported rounds are the technical phone screen (33), the system design round (13), the hiring manager screen (8) and the behavioral / leadership round (5).

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
Two algorithm questions for a software engineer role at J.P. Morgan. Both were pretty classic DSA problems but the ring wrapping detail on the first one tripped me up more than I expected.
  • You have n computers arranged in a circle, each either on or off (represented as 1s and 0s in an array), and an integer k. Find the maximum number of on computers within any k consecutive positions, where the window can wrap around the ring.
  • Given two strings where the second is formed by deleting exactly one character from the first, return all zero-based indices in the first string where that deletion could have occurred to produce the second string.

“The sliding window part I got pretty quickly, but the ring wrapping threw me off for a bit.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
JP Morgan software engineer round with a stack-based simulation problem. Nothing too brutal but you'd better know your asteroid collision variants cold before walking in.
  • Given an array of integers representing asteroids moving in a row, simulate their collisions and return the final state. Each asteroid's absolute value is its size and the sign indicates direction. Smaller asteroids explode on collision; equal sizes both explode; same-direction asteroids never collide.

“Basically a stack problem once you see it.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Hiring Manager Screen

May 2026
Interviewed for a PMM role at JP Morgan Chase. One question, product feedback to implementation, seemed straightforward but there's more to it than you'd think.
  • If a client flags an issue and requests a product change, how do you move that feedback all the way through to full implementation?

“I jumped straight into talking about roadmap prioritization and kind of skipped over the earlier steps, like actually validating whether the feedback represents a broader pattern or just one noisy client.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
JP Morgan software engineer interview with a logistics-style coding problem. Nothing too wild but the problem had a subtle constraint that tripped me up at first.
  • You have an array of n item quantities. Split the array into two non-empty parts at some index j, where the first part is items 1 through j and the second is the rest. You can increment or decrement any item's quantity by 1 as many times as you want, but no quantity can drop to zero or below. Find the minimum total operations to make the sum of both parts equal, over all possible split points.

“The positive quantity constraint is what got me initially.”

Coding round at J.P. Morgan for a software engineer role. Pretty standard algorithmic problem, nothing that'll make you lose sleep, but the in-place constraint is the part that trips people up if they're not careful.
  • Given an integer array, rearrange it in place so all zeros move to the end while preserving the relative order of non-zero elements. No extra arrays allowed, and aim for O(n) time.

“Two-pointer approach is the move here.”

JPMorgan Chase·Product Manager·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jun 2026
PM interview at JP Morgan Chase where they threw a pretty meaty strategy question at me around building out a DevSecOps platform. One question, but it had a lot of layers to unpack.
  • You're a PM owning a new internal DevSecOps platform at JP Morgan Chase. Define the OKRs, strategy, and goals for it.

“I started with goals because jumping straight to OKRs without grounding them in something felt backwards.”

JPMorgan Chase·Backend Engineer·Onsite - Multi Round

Jun 2026
Went through JPMC's 'Super Day' for a backend engineer role, three rounds back to back: coding pair, system design, and behavioral. Did well enough in two of them but completely fumbled the coding round, which is the one I'm most worried about.
  • Solve a mid-level coding problem by choosing the right data structure to arrive at an efficient solution.
  • Review a piece of code and identify issues or improvements.
  • Design a system that allocates delivery agents to orders or requests in real time.
  • Behavioral questions about past experiences and how you've handled various situations in your career.

“This is the one that's going to haunt me.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Online Assessment (OA)

Jun 2026
J.P. Morgan software engineer coding round, two problems back to back. Nothing brutal but the second one had more edge cases than it looked like at first glance.
  • Given a binary string of 0s and 1s, count how many substrings have equal numbers of 0s and 1s where all the 0s are grouped together and all the 1s are grouped together (like '0011', '10', '1100', etc.).
  • Given an array of document lines where lines starting with '#' are chapters and lines starting with '##' are sections, generate a formatted table of contents with proper numbering like '1. Chapter Title' and '1.2. Section Title'.

“Pretty clean problem once you see the pattern.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a Quant Engineer role at JP Morgan and got hit with a classic combinatorics DP problem. Not a bad experience but also not a particularly revealing one.
  • Given a 2×N rectangle, how many distinct ways can you tile it completely using 1×2 and 2×1 dominoes?

“Knew this one from competitive programming prep so the recurrence clicked fast.”

JPMorgan Chase·Software Engineer·Onsite - Behavioral / Leadership

Jun 2026
Behavioral round at JP Morgan for a software engineer role. Pretty much all about past projects and how you worked with your team, so if you haven't thought through specific examples beforehand you'll feel the pressure fast.
  • Walk me through a past project you worked on and how you handled a specific challenge during it.
  • Describe a time you had a conflict with a teammate and how you resolved it.
  • Can you give an example of a time you shared knowledge with your team or helped a colleague grow?

“They kept asking follow-ups after every answer so having one vague project story wasn't going to cut it.”
