In this role, you’ll drive the design, architecture, and development of platform-level tools, libraries, documentation, and front-end 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.
What you’ll do:
- Assist in leading the architecture and development of reusable front-end platform tools, SDKs, and shared libraries.
- Design and maintain systems that improve developer experience across CI/CD, testing, and deployment pipelines.
- 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 front-end engineering (7+ years), with a strong focus on scalable web platforms.
- Proven experience designing and building reusable SDKs, UI libraries, and platform APIs.
- Expertise in modern front-end 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.
