## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Lead the design and implementation of high-impact, member-facing systems across the Growth stack
- Set the technical vision for high-traffic systems with a scalable, forward-looking approach that meets Chime's reliability and latency standards
- Drive experimentation strategy and execution by building the systems and habits to test, learn, and iterate quickly — without sacrificing durability
- Identify and solve systemic challenges in performance, availability, and conversion-critical reliability across the Growth stack
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and Data to shape product direction and ensure technical feasibility and excellence
- Mentor senior engineers, elevate engineering practices, and drive consistency in quality, architecture, and code craftsmanship across teams
- Represent Chime externally through recruiting, open source, technical talks, or community engagement
- Leverage AI and LLMs to improve org productivity, personalize member experiences, and speed up decision making

## Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering
- Deep understanding of system design, service boundaries, and product-engineering tradeoffs, especially in high-traffic consumer systems
- A track record of driving measurable impact on business and engineering goals — ideally in growth, conversion, activation, or other consumer product problems
- Experience with experimentation: test design, instrumentation, analysis, and iterating on results
- Ability to influence technical and product direction across teams and orgs, and to lead through influence rather than authority
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Experience working in a fast-paced, product-focused environment (Fintech experience is a plus)
