The investment bank will get a £3m regional selective assistance grant from the Scottish Executive if the jobs are created within two years and maintained for another three.
Michael Ashworth, CIO at JP Morgan, said in a statement: "Glasgow has proved to be a highly successful and key strategic location for JPMorgan globally and the European technology centre provides vital software development facilities to the bank as a whole."
Nicol Stephen, deputy first minister for Scotland, said the creation of the new jobs emphasises the availability of high-quality IT professionals in Scotland.
"Scotland's universities should take great credit from this decision as JP Morgan sources most of these high-value positions from Scottish graduates. This is a further example of Scotland's potential to attract high-quality international jobs in the financial services sector," he said in a statement.
