The Role:

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in our money movement team while also working on product architecture transformation, focusing on the evolution of our banking core and the implementation of enhanced account structures, including readiness for new products like CDs. This position involves building resilient and safe money movement rails. You’ll be working within a highly collaborative environment where planning and executing through a unified campaign lens is essential due to the complexity and interdependencies of these initiatives.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll be in the middle of it all, acting as a leader and force multiplier – you’ll work with stakeholders to implement functionality, architect our systems, squash bugs, and continually grow 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 Technologies, 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 - and you’ll be working with an all-star team of talented engineers.

Galileo Financial Technologies plays a key role in supporting that mission for SoFi, providing key payment processing and technology support for a variety of SoFi offerings, including buy now, pay later and conversational AI-based customer engagement. And with the companies operating under the same corporate umbrella since SoFi acquired Galileo in 2020, the opportunity for additional integrations has skyrocketed.

What You’ll Do:

  • Full development life-cycle design from project requirement to deployment.
  • Work on automation and improvement of data exchanges and data pipelines between internal and external teams.
  • Facilitate the definition of project scope, deliverables, and goals.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery teams to ensure deliverables are met.
  • Track project performance against defined milestones/goals.
  • Conduct process improvement projects to increase performance in vital program metrics.
  • Communicate ongoing project health with key stakeholders and business leadership.
  • Maintain strict compliance with established project management policies and guidelines.
  • Take initiative and produce timely results in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment.
  • Make significant contributions to the code base.
  • Define best practices and uphold coding standards.
  • Consistently demonstrate extremely high levels of technical knowledge, ingenuity, and creativity. Develop and apply advanced technologies, engineering principles, theories, and concepts. Broad knowledge about the design and operation of systems outside of specialty.
  • Work within the Engineering team to develop features that specifically benefit our users.
  • Must be able to deliver high-quality code on schedule and communicate with groups in and outside the development team.

What You’ll Need:

  • Bachelor’s Degree, Computer Science Degree, or equivalent from a fully-accredited college or university.
  • 6+ years of Java programming experience.
  • Our core stack is Java/Kotlin/Spring/PostgreSQL/React, and we run on Kubernetes in a service-oriented architecture with over 100 services in production.
  • 2+ years of Java, Kotlin, or Scala programming experience.
  • A proven understanding of relational databases and ORMs.
  • Experience working on a SOA or microservice-based application.
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others, and get stuff done.
  • Solid 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.

Nice to Have:

  • Good knowledge of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD).
  • Knowledge in analytics, metrics, and monitoring integrations.
  • Test-driven development along with unit and integration testing.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
