Engineering Manager, Deals and Offers

About the role Chime's Deals & Offers team helps members get more value out of everyday spend. We build the member-facing deals, cashback, and merchant-offer experiences, plus the offers platform underneath them: the deals catalog, personalization and discovery surfaces, attribution and measurement, and partner integrations that power it all. Our work turns everyday transactions into real savings and gives members a reason to reach for Chime first. The team also owns Chime Wireless, a 0-to-1 vertical product. This is a rare chance to build a new business from the ground up inside a company with millions of members, shaping the product, the systems, and the roadmap from scratch. We are hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead this team. This is a player-coach role: you will manage a group of engineers building both the consumer experiences and the backend systems that serve offers at scale, and you will stay in the code yourself, contributing to features and reviewing your team's pull requests. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and partner teams to grow deal discovery, claim, and redemption, while keeping the underlying platform reliable and easy to build on. You will steer technical direction, lead by example, and develop the people on your team. The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $199,000.00 and up to $275,000.00. 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.
