About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our Jade team and build the tooling and infrastructure that powers Chime's AI-powered financial assistant. As a senior engineer on this team, you'll focus on the systems that enable us to scale and move faster — building eval frameworks, production observability, conversation review tools, and guardrail systems that ensure our AI experiences are reliable and safe for millions of members. Your work will directly help the team ship new capabilities to Jade by giving them the platforms and processes they need to develop, test, and monitor with confidence. You'll work across the stack, from internal UIs and dashboards to backend services that handle model routing, prompt management, and evaluation pipelines. The AI landscape evolves rapidly, and so do the needs of our team. You'll need to learn quickly, adapt to shifting priorities, and proactively anticipate what the team needs next to keep moving fast. If you're excited about solving the unique challenges that come with shipping LLM-powered products at scale, this is the role for you. The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $164,000 and up to $259,000. Full-time employees are also eligible for a bonus, competitive equity package, and benefits. The actual base salary offered may be higher, depending on your location, skills, qualifications, and experience.
