Role

Who you are

  • The ideal candidate is both forward-thinking and hands-on, has a strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery, and is a good mentor and co-worker

  • Familiarity with Agile-based project development in a microservices environment
  • Experience with designing and consuming backend APIs for web applications
  • Test-driven development skills
  • Passion for solving complex 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

  • Able to design and build modern and highly-responsive customer-facing components

Desirable

  • Understanding of blockchain fundamentals and distributed ledger technologies
  • Hands-on experience working with digital assets (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins)
  • Familiarity with custody, settlement, and clearing of crypto transactions
  • Knowledge of crypto-specific regulatory environments (e.g., SEC, CFTC, MiCA, etc.)
  • Exposure to crypto trading platforms, market data, and DeFi protocols
  • Experience integrating with or building services using crypto infrastructure providers (e.g., Fireblocks, Zero Hash, Anchorage)
  • Awareness of Web3 trends, including NFTs, DAOs, and Layer 2 solutions
  • Prior work in or collaboration with crypto-native companies or fintechs
  • Comfort with cryptographic concepts such as wallets, keys, and signatures
  • Enthusiasm for the evolving digital asset ecosystem and its potential impact on financial services

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.
