Who we are:

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Mobile Engineer to join our team. SoFi Invest is SoFi’s new investment platform that includes our market-leading robo-advisor, and online brokerage (stock, ETF, and mutual funds trading) products.

On our 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 strong sense of ownership and drive for delivery, and is a good mentor and co-worker. 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.

At SoFi, you’ll become part of a new kind of finance company whose ambition is to help our members achieve financial independence and reach their goals. We aim to be at the center of our members’ financial lives, and to help every member get their money right. We created student loan refinancing, addressing the biggest financial challenge of a new generation through a modern approach to lending and personal finance. Next we are redefining how members grow their wealth through algorithmic trading and AI. You will build the interfaces that millions of our members use to build and invest in automated trading strategies — bringing "quant-grade" tools to the everyday investor. SoFi has achieved significant growth, with ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
