We’re looking for a highly experienced Staff Frontend Engineer to join Web Core, a new web platform team at SoFi. This team will be central to scaling our 80+ consumer-facing and internal web applications. In this role, you’ll drive the design, architecture, and development of platform-level tools, libraries, documentation, and frontend patterns that power our web ecosystem.

As a hands-on technical leader, you’ll shape the future of SoFi’s web platform infrastructure—enabling consistency, performance, and scalability across products. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, infrastructure, and executive leadership to define and execute a strategic vision that supports company-wide goals.

The team will be an AI-first team, adopting LLM/agentic-powered technologies to accelerate and scale our web platform. An engineer should ideally be excited about learning and integrating with these new tools.

  • Define standards and best practices for performance, accessibility, and design system adoption.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to drive adoption and alignment of core platform capabilities.
  • Tackle complex technical and organizational challenges that span teams and products.
  • Mentor engineers across the org, championing engineering excellence and knowledge-sharing.

What you’ll need:

  • Deep expertise in frontend web engineering (5+ years), with a strong focus on scalable web platforms.
  • Proven experience designing and building reusable SDKs, UI libraries, and platform APIs.
  • Expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React preferred), build tooling, and testing frameworks.
  • Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, web performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and leadership skills.
  • Experience with mobile-web and responsive web frameworks.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with monorepos and frontend infrastructure tooling.

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.
