Lead the Growth Platform org, set its multi‑year vision and roadmap, unify seven separate systems into an AI‑native platform, and keep it reliable, cost‑efficient and compliant while enabling growth teams to launch experiments quickly.
10+ years software engineering experience, 5+ years leading teams (including tech lead managers), a proven record building growth or marketing platforms and shipping ML‑powered real‑time decision systems, plus strong distributed systems and experimentation expertise.
The platform fuels Chime’s member acquisition, retention and direct‑deposit growth, serving as the engine behind the company’s hyper‑growth and core member experience.
A senior engineering leader who thrives building large‑scale, AI‑driven growth infrastructure, enjoys cross‑functional partnership, and can mentor technical managers while navigating fintech regulatory constraints.
Growth is how millions of people find Chime, set up direct deposit, transact every day, unlock all the features and benefits Chime offers, and keep coming back. The Growth Platform is the engine behind it: Web, Paid, Notifications, Incentives, Targeting, Experimentation and Personalization, all used by every Growth team at Chime. We're looking for a Director to lead this org and build what comes next, a platform where AI and ML decide what each member sees, when, and on which channel, and where AI agents design, run and learn from experiments on their own, so Chime learns faster every week. If you've built growth platforms at scale and want to define how they power Chime's hypergrowth in 2027 and beyond, we'd love to talk.
