Senior Engineer, Software Sofi
San Francisco, CA

Job Description

We are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to help drive the future of SoFi's Underwriting platform. The ideal candidate is hands-on, articulate and focused engineer, who can help us to develop features and functionality; mentor others; and extend our application architecture to meet new requirements.

Our core stack is Java / Kotlin / Spring Boot / JPA / Hibernate / Kafka / Git, but you don't have to be an expert in any of these; we're looking for world-class developers to create game-changing technology.

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 Money-a modern take on a checking or savings account--is our newest innovation and disruption to the financial services industry. SoFi has achieved significant growth, with ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
