The opportunity
Chime’s Data Platform team builds the infrastructure every engineering and analytics team depends on - ingestion, transformation, quality, governance, and self-serve tooling across batch and streaming workloads.
What you'll do
Design, build, and operate self-serve ETL/ELT frameworks supporting both: batch and streaming workloads, with direct ownership of pipeline reliability, data quality SLAs, and schema evolution
Drive the technical roadmap for our data platform: evaluate build-vs-buy decisions, define integration patterns, and set standards that engineering teams across the company adopt
Partner with Product Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, and Marketing as a: technical lead to design data contracts, onboard new data domains, and scale ingestion without sacrificing governance
Architect and enforce data lineage, schema registry, and access controls: across all domains - ensuring compliance with fintech regulatory requirements (SOX, PII handling)
Own the platform: monitor, alert, debug, and resolve incidents across the data platform with the urgency expected of infrastructure that powers financial products
Raise the technical bar of the team through code review, design reviews, and: hands-on mentorship of junior and mid-level engineers
What they're looking for
- Engineers are required to participate in on-call rotation. Being on call may: include responding to incidents outside of regular working hours when necessary.
- + years building, shipping, and operating data infrastructure in production -: not just writing pipelines, but owning their reliability, performance, and cost at scale
- Strong system design skills: you’ve written design docs, made trade-offs, and delivered the result
- Solid understanding of key metrics for data pipelines and experience building: solutions to provide visibility to partner teams
