Job Description

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.
