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.

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:

  • 2 years experience working with modern technologies on a full-stack team
  • Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming best practices
  • Strong sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
  • 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
  • Strong communication and technical leadership skills
  • Desire to mentor and help others improve their skills


Nice to have:


  • Proven track record of building highly-scalable REST APIs
  • Experience with workflow orchestration systems, such as Temporal.io
