Stay hands-on through architecture, design and code reviews, and targeted production contributions, while coaching engineers and owning team execution.
Design and evolve scalable, high-performance integration architecture balancing reliability, cost, and ease of use.
Build and operate reliable connectors and pipelines for diverse sources and sinks across APIs, event streams, file transfers, and change-data-capture.
Ensure performant and secure data movement by defining ingress/egress patterns, throughput and latency targets, schema evolution, and error handling.
Collaborate across teams to define clear data contracts, schemas, and SLAs.
Build tooling and automation for governance and compliance across sources and sinks, with attention to data leaving Chime's boundary.
Manage and grow a team of engineers, setting clear expectations, providing coaching and feedback, and raising the bar on engineering quality and operational excellence.
Establish strong operational practices, including on-call, incident management, postmortems, and SLOs.
Stay ahead of industry trends in data integration, streaming, and ingestion/egress tooling, and introduce relevant technologies.

Requirements

8+ years of experience in high-scale, high-reliability software development, with a focus on platforms, infrastructure, and data integration or data movement systems.
3+ years of experience managing engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and developing engineers.
Hands-on coding ability and a genuine desire to remain technical while leading a team.
Track record of scaling products, platforms, and operations to support rapid growth.
Deep experience with data integration and movement components, such as ingestion and CDC pipelines, connector frameworks, event streaming, and API- and file-based data exchange.
Proven expertise in system and data architecture for scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data platforms, including schema design, data contracts, and schema-evolution strategies.
Comfortable working with modern data and infrastructure technologies, such as Kafka, Flink, Spark, Airflow, Kubernetes, and connector/ingestion tooling.
Proficient in Python (preferred) or a comparable language (e.g., Java, Scala), able to write, review, and ship production-quality code.
Fluent in SQL and performance tuning for analytical workloads.
Extensive experience in cloud-based data ecosystems, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure equivalents.
Understand data governance, security, and compliance best practices, especially for third-party data sharing and data crossing Chime's trust boundary.
Deeply interested in the transformative potential of advanced AI systems and how to build AI-ready data foundations.
Excel at building strong relationships with stakeholders across engineering, product, analytics, security, and finance, as well as external partners and vendors.
Translate between technical and business contexts.
