The Role
Do you dream of building secure and scalable systems that empower users and simplify access control? Are you passionate about creating elegant solutions for complex authorization challenges? If so, we want you on our team

  • Oversee Identity Data: Oversee the management of user identity data, while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and best practices
  • Lead Innovation: Define and own the technical strategy for the team. Generate ideas for new initiatives to improve the experience of our clients as well as members.

What You'll Need:

  • Proficiency with at least one object oriented programming language (preferably Java or Kotlin)
  • Experience leading and mentoring teams, and working on multi-year projects
  • Knowledge of REST API, design patterns, and scalable containerized systems and microservices.
  • Proven track record of working on scaling highly available, mission-critical systems with a SOA architecture
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done

Nice to Have:

  • Prior experience using Java, Spring, Postgres, and Kubernetes
  • Practical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (gradle, git, automated testing and deployments)
  • Experience with designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable identity technologies such as OPA, Zanzibar etc.
  • Experience with Snowflake, Datadog as well as infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
  • In-depth knowledge of Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing as they relate to Identity and Access Management, with a focus on zero-trust principles

What we offer:

  • Work in the heart of the FinTech revolution, making a real difference in the financial lives of millions.
  • The opportunity to be a founding member of a new squad working on multiple challenging and impactful projects that will shape the future of SoFi.
