  • Execute the technical roadmap: Help define and deliver on the internal AI-platform roadmap, adapting to shifting priorities while ensuring short-term operational targets are met.
  • Build foundational AI infrastructure: Oversee the development of tools that enable SoFi engineers to work more productively, including custom harness wrappers, auto-routing capabilities, and programmatic evaluations.
  • Partner with stakeholders: Work directly with internal developer customers and cross-functional engineering teams to distill complex requirements, obtain buy-in, and drive platform adoption.

What you’ll need:

  • Education & Minimum Experience Requirements: Bachelor’s Degree + 4+ Years of Experience OR Master’s Degree + 3+ Years of Experience in software engineering, computer science, or a related field.
  • Proven experience with AI-powered developer-tooling and related technical architectures.

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.
