Role
Who you are
- The perfect candidate will have experience with at least one full web technology stack, an eye for bugs and design flaws, and a white/gray box testing mindset. If you love coding, testing, and desire the opportunity to create an amazing testing platform this challenge might be for you
- BS in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience
- Software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages and fluency with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Preferably some experience with Ruby and/or Python
- 4-7 years experience in Software Engineer, Tools Engineering or Software Engineer in Test role
- Experience designing, developing, and managing automated testing
- Experience testing platform APIs and good understanding of end to end infrastructure
- Experience creating web-based and UI based tools is a plus
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer in the Testing Services team at Chime you'll work with a motivated team to help define quality and the metrics by which we will track it
- You'll work to instill the processes and procedures we'll need to live up to that standard
- You'll lead our development teams on the creation of their test plans, showing the way yourself if you need to
- You'll act as a Quality Product Manager, creating and refining a backlog of test automation and product instrumentation stories to ensure the dev teams spend their time coding rather than running manual tests
- You'll roll your sleeves up when necessary (or when you want to - we all got into this business because we love coding and all things technical) to do a spot of implementation yourself
- Have solid coding fundamentals and understanding of industry best practices
- Build new tools and automation from scratch to allow Engineering teams to operate more efficiently
- Work actively with internal teams to gather requirements on new initiatives, plan, prioritize and communicate progress effectively to all stakeholders
- Apportion appropriate time for support issues, deal with priority change, and manage expectations accordingly
- Work with TechOps to build, maintain and validate test environments
- Have strong communication skills to be able to work collaboratively with the development teams, external stakeholders, internal operations teams & senior management for key deliveries and production issues
- Develop and implement a set of quality metrics that report on our coverage progress and represent the member experience
- Maintain documentation and ensure resources are up to date, with a focus on providing an excellent user experience
Our take
Chime is part of the growing realm of fintech banks and providers, emphasizing straightforward, cost-effective banking solutions. It cuts the expenses tied to basic bank accounts and provides users with greater autonomy in managing their finances.
In contrast to many traditional banks that levy steep fees and hefty penalties for overdrafts while offering meager interest rates on savings, Chime addresses a crucial gap in the banking sector. Its primary focus is on catering to individuals with modest savings who seek the convenience of automated digital banking.
With a remarkable ascent in its trajectory, Chime's current valuation stands at $25.5B, a staggering $23.5B surge from its early 2019 valuation, underscoring its impressive and swift expansion. However, competition remains fierce, with other neobanks like Ally offering similar features and vying for the same customer base.
