Description

You will own the Python ecosystem at Chime, driving version standards, upgrade processes, and best practices to make Python development faster, safer, and more scalable. You'll collaborate with platform, CI/CD, and data/ML teams to improve build workflows and maintain critical internal libraries.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with deep Python expertise in production
• Strong experience with Python build tooling and understanding of versioning and distribution tradeoffs
• Understanding of asynchronous and synchronous data-sharing patterns (pub/sub, RPC, caching)
• Solid knowledge of containerized environments and build systems (Docker, CI pipelines, reproducible builds)
• Experience building and maintaining shared libraries used by multiple teams, including API design and backward compatibility

Responsibilities

• Own Python version standards, upgrade cadence, and compliance
• Design and drive safe, repeatable Python upgrade processes across services and shared libraries
• Establish clear dependency management practices (version locking, upgrade safety, library compatibility)
• Partner with CI/CD stakeholders to improve build performance, reliability, and developer experience for Python projects
• Maintain and develop critical internal Python libraries including roadmap, quality, and adoption
