The Role

We're excited to invite a Senior Staff Engineer to join our amazing team at SoFi! We are on a journey to build out a new team dedicated to developing innovative crypto products and services for our members. With recent developments paving the way for SoFi to re-enter the crypto space, we're eager to expand our product offerings with intuitive, secure, and fully-featured solutions across crypto Investing, Transfers, Payments, Custody, and beyond.

As a member of our team, you'll be right in the heart of the action-implementing functionality, architecting our systems, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, and continuously growing as an engineer. We're looking for someone who is both forward-thinking and hands-on, with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for delivering results. You'll also be a great mentor and co-worker! At SoFi, we take pride in the collaboration between Product, Design, and Engineering, and you'll be involved in the entire product lifecycle-from ideation through building, deploying, and ongoing improvement and evolution.

Joining SoFi means becoming part of a new kind of finance company with a mission to help our members achieve financial independence and reach their goals. We aim to be at the center of our members' financial lives, helping everyone get their money right. We started with student loan refinancing, tackling the biggest financial challenge of a new generation through a modern approach to lending and personal finance. Since then, we've expanded our products and services across loans, wealth management, and insurance. SoFi has seen significant growth and has ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this journey, we need talented individuals like you!

• Make smart, pragmatic decisions that balance speed and quality.
• Stay curious-constantly learning new tools, protocols, and patterns in the evolving crypto space.
• Ask hard questions, give and take feedback well, and thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

What you'll need:

• 10+ years of programming experience, with significant experience in modern languages and familiarity with AI tools.
• BS Degree or equivalent from a fully-accredited college or university preferred.
