About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the AI Enablement team, you will build the internal platforms, primitives, and guardrails that make AI a trusted co-pilot for employees across Chime. You’ll work on systems like Archimedes , Bosun , and easyRAG that power internal AI assistants, developer workflows, and retrieval-backed applications. These platforms make it easier for teams across the company to build, adopt, and scale LLM-powered tools safely and effectively.

What they're looking for

  • Significant experience as a software engineer building distributed systems, platform services, or internal developer tools
  • Hands-on experience building with LLMs or ML services and shipping production-quality features on top of them
  • Strong coding skills in at least one of Python, Go, or TypeScript/JavaScript , with comfort working across services, CLIs, and internal tooling
  • A platform mindset: you think in reusable primitives, contracts, and paved roads rather than one-off solutions
  • Familiarity with AI-specific engineering concerns such as evaluation, prompt and version management, observability, cost control, safety, and data privacy
  • Experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders such as Security, Risk, Product, and Operations, and influencing direction through strong technical judgment
