Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain deployment infrastructure for Data Engineering workflows, including Airflow, Flink, and chalk.ai environments
  • Own and operate Chime's core storage technologies — DynamoDB and RDS — serving both data engineering and platform teams

  • Partner closely with Data Engineering to translate their needs into scalable, reliable infrastructure solutions
  • Drive reliability improvements across the platform — observability, capacity planning, and operational hygiene
  • Participate in the full lifecycle of infrastructure changes: design, build, test, and ship
  • Help shape how the Data Infra team scales its practices as Chime grows

Requirements

  • 2–4 years of software engineering experience with a focus on infrastructure, platform, or backend systems
  • Hands-on production experience with Terraform and Kubernetes
  • Familiarity with AWS, particularly managed database services like DynamoDB and RDS
  • Strong programming skills in Python or a similar language
