About the role

Chime serves millions of members on a mission to help them unlock financial progress. Chime’s Lending org builds the products and platforms that give members access to fair, transparent credit and liquidity when they need it most, from Earned Wage Access through MyPay, to flexible overdraft with SpotMe, to longer-term Instant Loans, and the platforms that power credit decisions, funding, repayments, and servicing behind the scenes.

What they're looking for

  • A meaningful problem. Helping engaged members get more value over time is one of the highest-leverage things we can do for members and for the business
  • Real ownership. This is a newer team with clear executive support and meaningful surface area. You'll have room to shape both the technical direction and the team itself
  • Strong cross-functional partners. You'll work day-to-day with senior Product, Analytics, Marketing, Design, and Data leaders who are deep in the problem
  • A team to build. You'll hire, coach, and grow a group of engineers, and define the culture as it scales
  • Author and ship scoped, incremental features hands-on
  • Own the squad's technical direction, architecture, and code quality — leading technical design discussions, code reviews, and technical planning, with support from the team and Tech Leads
