Tech Lead Manager, Data Integration Platform
Chime is seeking a Tech Lead Manager for its Data Integration Platform team in San Francisco, CA. This role involves leading the development and operation of platforms and infrastructure that manage the flow of both first-party and third-party data into and out of Chime's ecosystem. The team is responsible for building reliable, scalable, and secure integration pipelines and connectors that facilitate data movement between Chime's internal systems and external partners, vendors, and data providers, thereby supporting analytics, experimentation, and AI-driven product experiences across the company.
In this position, the Tech Lead Manager will own the strategy and roadmap for Chime's Data Integration Platform, including ingestion pipelines, connectors, and the infrastructure that moves data into and out of Chime's ecosystem. The role requires hands-on involvement in architecture, design, and code reviews, as well as targeted production contributions focused on high-leverage platform problems. The manager will also design and evolve scalable, high-performance integration architecture that balances reliability, cost, and ease of use for both analytical and in-product data flows. Additionally, the role involves building and operating reliable connectors and pipelines for diverse sources and sinks across APIs, event streams, file transfers, and change-data-capture systems.
Candidates should have over 8 years of experience in high-scale, high-reliability software development, with a focus on platforms, infrastructure, and data integration or data movement systems. At least 3 years of experience managing engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and developing engineers, is required. Hands-on coding ability and a genuine desire to remain technical while leading a team are essential. Experience with data integration and movement components, such as ingestion and CDC pipelines, connector frameworks, event streaming, and API- and file-based data exchange, is necessary. Proficiency in Python or a comparable language, along with SQL and analytical workload performance tuning, is expected. Experience with cloud-based data ecosystems such as AWS, GCP, or Azure is also required.
The base salary for this role ranges from $199,000 to $275,000 per year. Full-time employees are also eligible for bonuses, equity packages, and benefits.
Chime offers a collaborative and innovative work environment, providing opportunities for professional growth and development. The company is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and encourages individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
