Who we are:


Shape a brighter financial future with us. Together with our members, we're changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance. We're a next-generation financial services company and national bank using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our millions of members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we're at the forefront. We're proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people's lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.


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


We are seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Staff Software Engineer to join our new and growing team to develop a cutting-edge entitlements management platform. As a founding member of the team, you'll play a pivotal role in designing, building and maintaining this mission critical system that will power all of SoFi as well as enable us to launch new commercial offerings. The ideal candidate is forward-thinking and hands-on, demonstrates exceptional ownership, is intellectually curious, dives below the surface to identify the root cause, and is an outstanding mentor and leader.


The Team You Will Join

The Digital Identity group was formed last year to be the single threaded owner of all customer identity data. We focus on collecting, protecting, and distributing the critical data that enables SoFi to recognize and support customers as they move through digital product experiences. We work with some of our customer's most sensitive data, and we take privacy and security very seriously, moving towards a zero-trust architecture.


What You'll Do:


  1. Architect & Build : Drive the design and implementation of scalable, secure and efficient entitlement and authorization systems
  2. Own your systems : Operate autonomously to solve ambiguous problems, as well as take ownership of your work, from design to deployment, and be a champion for operational excellence
  3. Expand your footprint : Influence and manage various projects that impact company goals. Develop deep relationships across functional teams, as well as closely partner with product and cross-functional teams to integrate entitlement solutions into our customer facing products.
  4. Mentor & Lead : Be a technical leader for the team; set goals, provide regular feedback, and support the professional development of other team members. Foster a collaborative and inclusive team environment, ensuring effective communication and alignment with organizational objectives.
  5. Oversee Identity Data : Oversee the management of user identity data, while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and best practices
  6. 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:


  1. 8+ years of experience working on highly scalable and available systems, as well as delivering quality software and architecture
  2. Proficiency with at least one object oriented programming language (preferably Java or Kotlin)
  3. Experience with designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable identity technologies such as FGA, OPA, Zanzibar etc.
  4. In-depth knowledge of Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing as they relate to Identity and Access Management, with a focus on zero-trust principles
  5. Experience leading and mentoring teams, and working on multi-year projects
  6. Knowledge of REST API, design patterns, and scalable containerized systems and microservices.
  7. Proven track record of working on scaling highly available, mission-critical systems with a SOA architecture
  8. Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done

Nice to Have:


  1. Prior experience using Java, Spring, Postgres, AWS and Kubernetes
  2. Practical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (gradle, git, automated testing and deployments)
  3. Experience with Snowflake, Datadog as well as infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)

What we offer:


  1. Work in the heart of the FinTech revolution, making a real difference in the financial lives of millions.
  2. 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.
  3. A collaborative and supportive work environment where you can learn and grow from talented engineers.
  4. Competitive salary and benefits package.
  5. Be part of a company that values innovation and empowers its employees.

If you are excited about building tier-0 foundational services from scratch, we encourage you to apply
