Software Engineer, Backend, SoFi Money

The role

We are seeking a Software Engineer 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.

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 :

• Participate in shaping the technical architecture of our banking products
• Participate in fixing bugs and raising our operational excellence bar
• 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

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
• 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
• Prior experience deploying applications using Docker and Kubernetes
• Practical knowledge of CI / CD pipelines (gradle, git, automated testing and deployments)
• History of working with a cloud-based microservice architecture and distributed service communications
