What the job involves

- You are passionate about security and dedicated to continuously improving detection and response capabilities
- Serve as a technical expert driving Chime’s security incident response program, investigating, and coordinating response
- Work closely with other Security teams, Engineering, Fraud, and other stakeholders to monitor and analyze events and signals across various logical environments
- Gather threat intelligence, identify adversaries, tools and techniques, and mitigate and respond to them

- Drive efforts to hunt for adversary activity in the environment
- Mentor junior analysts in your mysterious ways
- Learn and grow as you go
- Execute on team and company OKRs
Our take
Chime is part of the growing realm of fintech banks and providers, emphasising 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 meagre 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 $11.6B since its 2025 IPO. However, competition remains fierce, with other neobanks like Ally offering similar features and vying for the same customer base. That being said, Chime's IPO, rare in a financially uncertain period, proves that it has shifted from challenger to major player.
