About the Role

About the Role

The Support Foundations team builds the infrastructure that powers every support interaction a Chime member has. That includes the automated phone system members call when they need help, the in-app chatbot that answers questions instantly, live chat with human agents, and the data and routing systems that make it all work reliably.

Our mission is to give members a personalized, automated, and always-available support experience. We measure success by how members rate their support interactions — so when our systems work well, members feel it directly.

Right now, we're rebuilding this platform from the ground up. We're modernizing our contact center infrastructure, shipping AI-powered features like automated conversation summarization and intelligent self-service, and establishing the data foundations that improves routing accuracy and support quality at scale.

We work closely with Product, Conversational Design, and Operations teams to shape what the future of member support looks like.

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $133,000.00 and up to $184,000.00. 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.

Whether it's starting a savings account, purchasing a first car or home, launching a business, or pursuing higher education, we're proud to have helped millions unlock their financial potential.

We're a team of problem solvers, dreamers, and builders with one shared obsession: our members. From day one, Chimers have worked tirelessly to out-hustle and out-execute competitors to bring our mission to life. Their grit and determination inspire us to work harder every day to deliver the very best experience possible. We each bring an owner's mindset to our work, refusing to be outdone and holding ourselves accountable to meet and exceed the highest bars for our teams, our company, and our members.

We believe in being bold, dreaming big, and taking risks, while also working together, embracing our diverse perspectives, and giving each other honest feedback. Our culture remains deeply entrepreneurial, encouraging every Chimer to see themselves as stewards of our mission to help everyday Americans unlock their financial progress.

We know that to achieve our mission, we must earn and keep people's trust—so we hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity in everything we do. These aren't just words on a wall—our values are embedded in every aspect of our business, serving as a north star that guides us as we work to help millions achieve their financial potential.

Because if we don't—who will?
