Description

  • Own Chime’s Python version standards, upgrade cadence, and compliance to reduce end-of-life exposure and security patch lag.
  • Design and drive safe, repeatable Python upgrade processes across services and shared libraries.
  • Establish dependency management practices, including version locking, upgrade safety, and library compatibility strategies.
  • 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.
  • Define and evangelize Python best practices aligned with community standards and support teams through documentation and enablement.

  • Comfort operating with ambiguous requirements and creating clarity through documentation, prototypes, and incremental rollout plans.
  • Experience supporting data engineering and machine learning environments is a bonus.
  • On-call rotation participation is required, including responding to incidents outside regular working hours when necessary.
