Job summary

Chime's Growth Engineering team is looking for a full‑stack engineer to own features end to end—from React/TypeScript interfaces to Rails services and APIs behind them, and the experiments that prove impact.

You will influence architecture, ship across the stack, and maintain the ongoing health of the code. This is a full‑time role with a hybrid schedule in San Francisco, offering a base salary of $164,000 to $227,000 plus bonus, equity, and benefits.

Qualifications

• 5+ years developing software in a production environment at scale.
• Proven experience with a modern front-end framework (React or comparable) and a server-side framework (Ruby on Rails or comparable).
• Comfort with TypeScript and component-driven UI development.
• Experience working with transactional databases and caching, and with client-side state and performance.
• Experience running experiments - A/B tests, feature flags.
• Exposure to architectural patterns of large, high-scale web applications.
• Growth or consumer experience as an added plus.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, refactor and scale consumer product features end to end - from member-facing React/TypeScript interfaces through the services and APIs that power them.
• Build strong, resilient APIs and partner with mobile engineers on the contracts behind our React Native app.
• Rapidly prototype and launch A/B tests, then use the results to decide what ships, what iterates, and what gets killed.
• Own the quality of what you ship end to end - page performance, funnel conversion, accessibility, and the instrumentation that tells you it's working.
• Collaborate with product, design, data science, and marketing to understand member pain points and come up with solutions.
• Proactively identify opportunities for improving the reliability and scalability of our systems.
• Work across the engineering team to improve and uphold high technical standards.
