Job Overview
About the role Chime is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own the messaging, caching, job processing, and workflow platforms that keep services talking to each other.
The Messaging Platforms team sits between infrastructure and product. We build the frameworks, libraries, and operational patterns that let product engineers move quickly without having to carry the full complexity of messaging. When we do our jobs well, teams feel confident: messaging is reliable, scalable, observable, and easy to build on.
You'll work on
- Messaging and job processing — local and distributed async processing, service-to-service communication, and reliability work
- Caching — Redis governance, usage patterns, and operational tooling
- Workflow orchestration — running and improving the platforms teams use for scheduled jobs and long-running workflows (Temporal, Cronitor)
- Shared Rails tooling — logging, tracing, security, PII masking, schema enforcement, and other shared concerns
- AI-enabled engineering — finding practical ways to help Chime engineers use AI more effectively: automation, agent-ready tooling, platform capabilities that make AI-assisted development safer
