About the role

We are looking for a versatile Security Software Engineer to join our team and operate across product security, application security, infrastructure security, enterprise security, and security/compliance automation. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role for someone who enjoys working across the stack—from code and cloud infrastructure to security workflows and compliance systems.

You’ll help secure our products and platforms while also improving how we scale security through AI, automation, integrations, and continuous monitoring. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, security, and risk/compliance—requiring both technical depth and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into practical, reliable solutions.

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.

In this role, you can expect to

• Participate in projects that reduce security risks and attack surface within our infrastructure and corporate applications
• Perform security reviews across mobile, backend, cloud, and API systems
• Conduct penetration testing and threat modeling
• Embed security into the SDLC
• Build automation, tooling, and guardrails
• Streamline vulnerability detection and remediation workflows
• Partner with engineering, product, and compliance teams

To thrive in this role, you have

• 2–6+ years in security or software engineering
• A desire to scale yourself with AI
• Experience with cloud (AWS/GCP) and APIs
• Understanding of application and cloud security fundamentals
• Experience with automation and integrations
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice‑to‑haves

• Experience with AI in security workflows
• Terraform or infrastructure‑as‑code experience
• Mobile security experience (iOS/Android)
• Pen testing or bug bounty experience
• Familiarity with GRC tools and frameworks

Benefits

• In‑office work policy: four days a week in the office with Fridays from home for those near one of our offices, plus team and company‑wide events depending on location. Whether you’re coming in regularly or are part of our fully remote program, you’ll stay engaged with your work and teammates.
• In‑office perks including backup child, elder, and/or pet care, plus a subsidized commuter benefit to support your regular commute.
• Competitive salary based on experience.
• 401(k) match plus great medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits.
• Generous vacation policy and company‑wide Chime Days, bonus company‑wide paid days off.
• 1% of your time off to support local community organizations of your choice.
• Annual wellness stipend to use towards eligible wellness related expenses.
• Up to 24 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks of paid parental leave for non‑birthing parents.
• Access to Maven, a family planning tool, with $15k lifetime reimbursement for egg freezing, fertility treatments, adoption, and more.
• In‑person and virtual events to connect with your fellow Chimers—think cooking classes, guided meditations, music festivals, mixology classes, paint nights, and snack boxes.
• A challenging and fulfilling opportunity to join one of the most experienced teams in FinTech and help millions unlock financial progress.
