About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of people management responsibilities.
  • Current hands-on coding ability and a desire to continue coding in the role.
  • A track record of using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to accelerate delivery and of enabling team adoption with measurable impact on output.
  • Experience supporting and coaching team members in project execution, skill development, and career progression.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and a track record of partnering closely with Product, Design, and Analytics.
  • Experience with similar technologies, including Ruby, React Native, distributed systems, AWS data and compute services, and service-oriented architectures.

Responsibilities

  • Manage and develop a squad of 4–5 engineers, including hiring, one-on-ones, career coaching, and performance management.
  • Own end-to-end squad delivery, from sprint planning and delivery commitments through service-level agreements and operational health.
  • Write and ship code alongside the team, authoring pull requests that reach production.
  • Set the squad’s technical direction, architecture, and quality bar, either through a tech lead or by taking on the tech lead role.
  • Use AI coding agents and tooling to increase individual and squad leverage, and establish durable team practices.
  • Partner with Product and Design on scope, prioritization, and quarterly planning, surfacing technical dependencies and capacity needs early.
  • Act as the squad’s cross-functional contact for its technical capabilities and dependency coordination, and lead product-definition discussions when a dedicated product manager is not assigned.
  • Identify technical debt and advocate for sustainable engineering while remaining an active codebase contributor.
  • Ensure quality, performance, and operational health, including a healthy on-call and incident-response culture.
  • Build growth paths for squad engineers toward higher individual-contributor levels or a future tech lead manager role.
  • Contribute to broader Spending, Savings, and Investing and Chime engineering initiatives as a member of the engineering leadership team.

About the Company

Chime

Runs a mobile banking app with no monthly fees

Chime runs a mobile banking app for everyday Americans, with accounts held at federally insured banks and no monthly or overdraft fees. It made its name by releasing direct-deposit paychecks up to two days early, and in 2019 it introduced SpotMe, which covers small overdrafts without a fee. Members spend with a Visa debit card or the Chime Card, a credit card backed by their own deposits that builds credit, and get part of their pay before payday through MyPay. Chime makes most of its money from the swipe fees merchants pay when members use its cards, plus charges and interest on instant transfers, pay advances, and small loans. Chime was founded in 2012 and is based in San Francisco, California.
