Role Overview
We are looking for a technical lead investigator to join the Internal Trust & Fraud Team. You will be responsible for conducting quick-turnaround and in-depth investigations covering a multitude of financial crimes and insider risk matters. In doing so, you will confront high-priority and sensitive issues from a variety of emerging and novel typologies with significant ambiguity. The Investigator will be responsible for conducting investigations specifically focused on SoFi employees and suspicious activities. The role consists of conducting investigations into misconduct by employees, analyzing financial records for discrepancies, and developing strategies to detect and mitigate risky behaviors and fraud. Key duties involve examining internal controls, documenting findings, preparing detailed reports, and maintaining case files.
In addition to conducting investigations and making recommendations on member or employee activity, you will also be asked to evaluate how SoFi’s controls could be enhanced to further detect and mitigate identified risks and typologies, and work with internal stakeholders to ensure the enhancements are escalated to the appropriate team for remediation.
The right person for this role will enjoy dealing with puzzles, seeking creative solutions, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and moving quickly while ensuring comprehensive results.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct end-to-end investigations into suspected insider risk activity such as data exfiltration, policy violations, fraud, IP theft, sabotage, and misuse of company resources.
Review and analyze telemetry including endpoint, identity and authentication, SaaS, application, and network logs.
Correlation events across different log sources to build defensible investigative timelines and attribution assessments.
Partner with stakeholders to deploy detections and implement strategies to prevent malicious activities by improving internal controls, policies, and procedures.
Demonstrate sound judgment and an ability to navigate high-priority, high-risk, and sensitive cases.
Coordinate and collaborate with external parties, including law enforcement agencies, legal counsel, and regulatory bodies, when necessary.
Proactively partner with internal and external stakeholders and law enforcement agencies regarding priority, high-impact, or emerging typologies.
Deliver clear, concise, and objective briefings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Maintain case management system hygiene, ensuring complete documentation, evidence preservation, and chain of custody integrity.
Contribute to the development of playbooks, standards, and procedures.
Required Qualifications
8+ years of experience in an investigative role such as Insider Threat, Security Operations, Digital Forensics, Insider Response, or Corporate Investigations.
Demonstrated experience reviewing and correlating endpoint, application, network, and other logs.
Familiarity with security tools such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
Proficient in interpreting evidence and reconstructing events.
Familiarity with criminal law, rules, legislation and internal policies.
Familiarity with all evidence types and the rules governing their admissibility.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
SoFi wasn’t built to be a bank. Or a technology company. We were built for one mission: help people achieve financial independence so they can realize their ambitions. Redefining an entire industry isn’t easy work—and it’s not for the faint of heart. It takes a certain kind of team. People with diverse perspectives and expertise, united by a common sense of purpose. People willing to challenge assumptions but always do the right thing. People proving that innovation and responsibility don’t have to compete, but can come together to create something truly unconventional in the world. For the last eight years, we’ve been charting this new path forward. We call it The SoFi Way. At SoFi, we don’t just talk about culture: we live it. The SoFi Way is how we show up every day, how we make decisions, and how we build for our members, clients, and each other.
