- Experience working with modern experimentation frameworks and product analytics tools
- Have led teams building systems or platforms that support high-scale A/B testing or segmentation

What the job involves
- Chime is looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our Growth Engineering team. This team drives product innovation and experimentation across onboarding, conversion, engagement, and referral—empowering millions of members to unlock financial progress
- As a Growth leader, you’ll be responsible for scaling impact through engineering excellence, cross-functional collaboration, and bold product execution that brings more people into the Chime ecosystem and helps them realize value faster
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and Marketing to identify, prioritize, and deliver high-impact growth initiatives across the member lifecycle
- Scale and evolve the systems, platforms, and infrastructure that power experimentation and personalization across Chime’s surfaces
- Lead the development and deployment of A/B tests and growth features that drive measurable user and business outcomes
- Hire, coach, and grow a high-performing team of engineers focused on speed, quality, and outcomes
- Set technical and execution strategy across a portfolio of initiatives that increase Chime’s reach, member activation, and retention
- Champion a culture of experimentation, member obsession, and engineering excellence
- Operate with autonomy and urgency, creating clarity in ambiguity and delivering results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
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.
