About this role

Chime Financial, Inc is hiring for a Tech Lead Manager, Platform role. See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience and 2+ years leading or managing engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career development, with the appetite and ability to stay hands-on in the codebase.
  • A track record of delivering CI/CD, build/release, or developer-productivity systems: continuous integration, build pipelines, artifact management, or progressive delivery.
  • Hands-on experience with CI systems (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or comparable), build pipelines, and artifact management in production (must-have).
  • Hands-on technical depth you can still exercise: you author and review production PRs and can lead technical design, not just delegate it. Strong development experience in Ruby, Go, Python, or comparable languages.
  • Experience with progressive and safe delivery: canaries, release gating, feature flagging, and rollback strategies.
  • Strong understanding of operating production systems at scale: reliability, observability, incident response, and the operational discipline platform ownership demands.
  • The judgment to balance delivery velocity against safety, reliability, and technical-debt realities, and the communication skills to make those trade-offs clear to engineers and executives alike.
  • Demonstrated use of AI coding agents and tooling to accelerate development and team velocity, with a concrete example of the impact on your team's output.
