Job description

Shape a brighter financial future with us.

Together with our members, we’re changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance.

We’re a next-generation financial services company and national bank using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our millions of members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront. We’re proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people’s lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Staff Frontend Web Engineer to join our team. SoFi Invest is SoFi’s new investment platform that includes our market-leading robo-advisor, and online brokerage (stock, ETF, and mutual funds trading) products.

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.

Key responsibilities

• Help shape the technical architecture & design of the Sofi Invest web component
• Lead best practices for development, testing and releasing the SoFi Invest component while contributing to the shared components across SoFi
• Mentor other engineers, support the technical culture, and help grow the team
• Generate ideas for new initiatives and technologies
• Shape the architecture of our frontend technologies
• Proven experience designing and building reusable SDKs, UI libraries, and platform APIs.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, web performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
• Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree, ideally in a technical field, but we understand great engineers come from all sorts of different backgrounds and also consider relevant work experience
• 8+ years related experience or demonstrated equivalent
• Experience with React
• Expertise in modern front-end frameworks (React preferred), build tooling, and testing frameworks
• Familiarity with responsive design/development and mobile-web best practices.
• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
• Strong 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 (and git specifically), refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
• Able to design and build modern and highly-responsive customer-facing components
• Develop and implement front-end architecture to support user interface concepts
