The Role:

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team and contribute to some of SoFi's most impactful products. You'll play a pivotal role in evolving our offerings, from the market-leading robo-advisor and online brokerage (stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds) within SoFi Invest, to the architecture transformation of our SoFi Credit Card, and the exciting new frontiers of our Crypto team. We're designing future-looking frameworks to scale our customer base, delight existing users, and disrupt the banking industry across these vital areas. This highly collaborative environment requires unified planning and execution due to the complexity and interdependencies of these initiatives.

On our team, you will be in the middle of it all – implementing functionality, architecting our system, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, and continually growing as an engineer. The ideal candidate is both forward-thinking and hands-on, has a strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery, and is a good mentor and co-worker. At SoFi, we pride ourselves on the collaboration between Product, Design and Engineering and so you will be involved in the entire product lifecycle, from ideation through building, deploying and continual improvement and evolution.

At SoFi, you’ll become part of a new kind of finance company whose ambition is to help our members achieve financial independence and reach their goals. We aim to be at the center of our members’ financial lives, and to help every member get their money right. We created student loan refinancing, addressing the biggest financial challenge of a new generation through a modern approach to lending and personal finance. Next we expanded our products and services across loans, wealth management, and insurance. SoFi has achieved significant growth, with ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
