You will be part of a team that is empowered to make technical decisions.

On our team, you will be in the middle of it all – implementing new functionality, architecting our system, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, and continually growing as an engineer. We interact heavily with pricing, data science, and risk analytics to deliver solutions which allow us to lead the market in making decisions and moving quickly. 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, continual improvement and evolution. You’ll face and solve a wide range of challenges: technical, product, and operational, shaping your personal growth and career along the way, as well as using your areas of expertise to grow the capabilities of the rest of the team.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the development and testing of our systems and services
• Participate in shaping the technical architecture of the product
• Help translate product requirements into user stories and technical solutions
• Deliver highly available and scalable services in a production environment
• Mentor other engineers, support the technical culture, and help grow the team
• Generate ideas for new initiatives and technologies
• Communicate with project leads, product managers and other software developers

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field
• 4+ years programming experience, ideally on a modern stack
• Our core stack is Java/ Kotlin/ Spring / PostgreSQL/ React, and we run on Kubernetes in a service oriented architecture with over 100 services in production
• 2+ years Java, Kotlin or Scala programming experience
• A proven understanding of relational databases and ORMs
• Experience working on a SOA or microservice-based application.
• 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)
