Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong experience in full stack development
- Proficiency with React (or similar frontend frameworks like Vue/Angular) and modern JavaScript/TypeScript practices
- Deep understanding of backend development with Spring Boot and Kotlin (or willingness to ramp up quickly on Kotlin)
- Experience working with RESTful APIs, event-driven architecture, and microservices
- Solid understanding of database systems (SQL and/or NoSQL) and backend scaling patterns
- Ability to lead complex projects end-to-end and collaborate with stakeholders across product and operations
- Strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach to solving business problems
- 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, refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our engineering team that builds state-of-the-art internal applications for front and back-office customer support agents
- As a Senior Engineer, you will be at the forefront of building mission-critical internal tools that power the day-to-day operations of our customer support organization. Our team is responsible for designing and delivering web applications that are intuitive, reliable, and deeply integrated into the operational workflows of our front and back office agents
- In this role, you will lead the development of new features and systems end-to-end, collaborating closely with product managers, designers, and peer engineers to identify problems, propose solutions, and deliver high-quality software. You’ll be deeply involved in both frontend and backend work — building responsive user interfaces in React and architecting resilient backend services with Spring Boot and Kotlin
- We are looking for someone who can take ownership of complex technical problems, design scalable systems, and mentor other engineers while continuously pushing for engineering excellence. You will help shape how our tools are built and evolve, directly influencing the efficiency and experience of hundreds of internal users across multiple lines of business
- This is a high-impact role that combines product thinking, system design, and hands-on engineering. If you thrive in an environment where your work enables others to succeed — and you enjoy building well-crafted software that solves real operational challenges — we’d love to hear from you
- Lead the development and testing of system components/services, code and design reviews
- Participate in shaping the technical architecture of the product
- Help translate product requirements into user stories and technical solutions
- Deliver highly available and scalable services in a production environment
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver high-impact features
- Own major components of the agent platform — from architecture to implementation and rollout
- Champion code quality through well-structured code, code reviews, and automated tests
- Drive engineering best practices, performance optimizations, and continuous improvements
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of growth and innovation
Our take
SoFi started by offering ways for students to secure better financial terms on their loans, and now offers a huge range of personal finance products, including bank accounts, loans, mortgages, investment advice, and investment opportunities. Many customers find they have to go to multiple financial service providers to meet all their finance needs, but SoFi overcomes this issue by putting it all in one place.
Its goal, to cover all the financial bases, sets them apart from many of the traditional banks and even some of their digital competitors, such as Avant, which has chosen to focus on providing credit alternatives. Although it is operating in a competitive market with a lot of big players such as Monzo, Revolut, and Starling, the company has managed to raise huge amounts of funding to support its rapid expansion.
SoFi has focussed on global expansion, moving outside the US, and has made a series of acquisitions to support this - including a Hong Kong-based investment app called 8 Securities. After going public on the New York Stock Exchange via a SPAC merger in June 2021, the company has continued to evolve and release more mission-oriented services into its roster, and strengthened its lending capabilities through a $350 million post-IPO loan. To date, the company has sold over $15 billion in personal loan collateral and continues to strengthen its offering.
