The role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a specialty in frontend web implementations to play a pivotal role in our Money product architecture transformation, focusing on the evolution of our banking core and the implementation of enhanced account structures, including readiness for new products like CDs. This position involves maturing our central member-facing services, particularly in areas such as entitlements, permissions, and data management, which are critical to supporting integrated product offerings like SoFi Plus. You'll be working within a highly collaborative environment where planning and executing through a unified campaign lens is essential due to the complexity and interdependencies of these initiatives.
As a SoFi Senior Software Engineer, you'll be in the middle of it all - you'll work with stakeholders to implement functionality, architect our systems, squash bugs, and continually grow 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 - and you'll be working with an all-star team of talented engineers.
What you'll do:

• Work on React-based web applications with a cross-functional team.
• Develop testable and accessible web applications.
• Work with designers to identify and solve potential implementation issues.
• Generate, enhance, and promote ideas for useful new projects and technologies.
• Deliver and operate highly available and scalable services in a production environment.
• Communicate with project leads, product managers, and other software developers on multiple projects.
• Define new product/technical architectures across one or several features of products.
• Mentor other engineers, support the technical culture, and help the team grow.

What you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree, ideally in a technical field, but we understand great engineers come from a variety of different backgrounds and also consider relevant work experience
• Experience with modern JavaScript libraries, tooling, and frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of front-end technologies.
• Familiarity with responsive design/development and mobile-web best practices.
• Solid understanding of software design and architecture.
• Experience in unit, functional, and end-to-end testing.
• Experience with Node.js a plus
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
• Solid sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
• Affinity for solving problems and shipping impactful features, not polishing perfect code or architecture
• Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests

Nice to have:

• Interest in personal finance
• Experience managing your own investments or experience taking out loans
• Experience scaling highly available, mission critical systems
• Full-stack experience, either toward systems (kafka, docker, posix), databases (postgres), or front-end (javascript/typescript, react)
