Job description
About the role
Chime's Growth Engineering team builds the member-facing experiences that move our business metrics, and we're scaling fast. We're looking for a full stack engineer who wants to own features end to end: the React and TypeScript interfaces members actually touch, the Rails services and APIs behind them, and the experiments that prove the work paid off. You'll influence architecture, ship across the stack, and maintain the ongoing health of the code.
In this role, you can expect to
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
To thrive in this role, you have
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
