You’ll collaborate closely with the Staff Automation Engineer and technical stakeholders to build high-quality automations and intelligent agent workflows across systems like ServiceNow, Atlassian, Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, knowledge management tools, and cloud environments such as GCP and AWS.

  • Implement Agentic AI and LLM-powered workflows using tools like Workato, Flow Designer, Zapier, Moveworks, and models such as ChatGPT or Gemini.
  • Build AI-driven chatbots or intelligent agents that automate tasks, support conversational workflows, and integrate with enterprise applications.
  • Develop integrations using REST APIs, JSON, webhooks, and scripting languages (JavaScript, Python).
  • Follow established automation and AI standards for quality, security, and governance; provide improvements where appropriate.
  • Apply RBAC and least-privilege patterns in automation design.
  • Partner with IT, Security, GRC, Procurement, and business teams to understand requirements and deliver reliable, scalable solutions.
  • Troubleshoot, maintain, and optimize existing workflows to improve stability and performance.
  • Document designs, workflows, configurations, and operational procedures.
  • Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and team-based learning to uplift engineering quality and consistency.

What You’ll Need

  • 4+ years of experience in automation engineering, systems integration, or workflow development.
  • Experience with automation platforms such as Workato, Flow Designer, Zapier, or Moveworks.
  • Experience building workflows and integrations in ServiceNow and/or Atlassian.
  • Experience developing LLM-powered automations, conversational interfaces, or AI assistants.
  • Strong skills in REST APIs, JSON, webhooks, JavaScript, and Python.
  • Familiarity with identity systems (Okta, SCIM) and RBAC concepts.
  • Familiarity with cloud environments such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  • Ability to break down problems, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver solutions with moderate guidance.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to translate functional requirements into technical outputs.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Workato Copilot).
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines or version-controlled automation assets.
  • Experience with SaaS license automation or analytics workflows.
  • Experience supporting or contributing to automation best practices or documentation.

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.

Why Work With Us

Together with our members, we’re changing the way people think about and interact with personal finance. We’re a next-generation Fintech company using innovative, mobile-first technology to help our members reach their goals. The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront.
