The opportunity
Chime is looking for an engineering leader to help manage and guide one of the AI & App Experience (AAX) engineering teams. Chime’s AAX org is building the next generation of the Chime member experience, including Jade, our AI-powered financial assistant.
What you'll do
Manage and develop a squad of 4-5 engineers: Hiring, 1:1s, career coaching, managing for performance
Own delivery for your squad end to end, from sprint planning and delivery: commitments through service SLAs and operational health
Write and ship code alongside your team, authoring pull requests that land in production
Be accountable for the squad's technical direction, architecture, and quality: bar, either via a tech lead on the squad, or by taking on the tech lead role yourself
Use AI coding agents and tooling to raise both your own leverage and your: squad's, and establish the practices that make that durable for the team
Guide the design and delivery of LLM-powered capabilities, from agent: experiences and evals to the guardrails and observability that keep Jade reliable at the scale of millions of members
What they're looking for
- Partner with Product, Design, Data Science, and Risk on scope,: prioritization, and quarterly planning, surfacing technical dependencies and capacity needs early
- Act as the squad's cross-functional point of contact for its technical: capabilities and dependency coordination, and carry the "what should we build" conversation if/when a PM isn't dedicated to your squad
- Identify technical debt and advocate for sustainable engineering, staying an: active contributor to the codebase, while ensuring quality, performance, and operational health, including a healthy on-call and incident-response culture
- Build growth paths for the engineers on your squad towards the higher IC: levels or a future TLM role, and contribute to broader AAX and Chime engineering initiatives as a member of the engineering leadership team
