Senior Frontend Engineer, Invest - job 1 of 2

The Role:

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our SoFi Invest team! We believe everyone should have the tools to build wealth, whether they're a seasoned investor or just starting out. Our team is building innovative products and features that are changing the way people think about money. If you're a talented, driven individual who's passionate about technology and finance, we want to hear from you.

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.

• Collaborate across functions and teams to reduce ambiguity and keep projects on track
• Track project performance against defined milestones/goals

• Experience with designing and consuming backend APIs for web applications
• Test-driven development skills
• Passion for solving complex problems
