Staff Engineer, Growth at Chime (San Francisco, California)

Chime is a fintech company offering banking services and personal loans to millions of members. This role sits on our Early Stage Experience area, focused on the beginning of the member journey — the first experiences that turn new sign-ups into engaged, active members. It's high-volume, high-stakes work where small improvements compound, and the systems behind it have to be both quick to experiment on and dependable at scale.

Key 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

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
• 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

Location and schedule

• Onsite in San Francisco, California
