The role
We are looking for a full-stack Senior Software Engineer excited to dive into one of the largest opportunities at SoFi and help drive the next generation of lending products. SoFi is trying to push the boundaries of lending and provide next-level products for our members. We are seeking anyone with big ideas and a drive to help our customers secure financial stability.
On our Personal Loans team, you will be in the middle of it all – implementing functionality, architecting our system, squashing bugs, maintaining the health of our code, and continually growing as an engineer. The ideal candidate is both forward-thinking and hands-on, has a solid sense of ownership and drive for delivery, and a strong team player. At SoFi, we pride ourselves on the collaboration between Product, Design and Engineering and so you will be involved in the entire product lifecycle, from ideation through building, deploying and continual improvement and evolution. You’ll face and solve a wide range of challenges: technical, product, and operational, shaping your personal growth and career along the way.
What you’ll do:
Lead the development and testing of system components/services, code and design reviews
Participate in shaping the technical architecture of the product
Help translate user stories into technical solutions
Deliver highly available and scalable services in a production environment
Mentor other engineers, support the technical culture, and help grow the team
Generate ideas for new initiatives and technologies
Communicate with project leads, product managers and other software developers
What You'll Need:
Bachelor’s Degree, ideally in a technical field, but we understand great engineers come from all sorts of different backgrounds and also consider relevant work experience
5+ years programming experience, ideally on a modern stack
Our core stack is React / Java / Kotlin / Spring / PostgreSQL, but you don't have to be an expert in any of these. 4+ years Java, Kotlin or Scala programming experience and an understanding of relational databases and ORMs suffices
Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
Strong sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
Affinity for solving problems and shipping impactful features, not polishing perfect code or architecture
Experience working in a collaborative coding environment (and git specifically), refining designs together, writing tests, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
Nice to have:
Good exposure and hands on experience with Microservices design principles and architecture
Experience in the financial services industry, especially interaction with underwriting, pricing and/or risk.
Front-End experience with Javascript, React, Scala, and/or Flutter
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Spring Boot, Terraform, and CI/CD
