Staff Frontend Developer (mobile), SoFi Money

The role

We are looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer with a natural inclination to elegantly solve complex problems. Flutter experience is preferred, but not strictly required. You will play a pivotal role in our Money 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 maturing our central member-facing services, particularly in areas such as entitlements, permissions, and data management, which are critical to supporting integrated product offerings like SoFi Plus. 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 SoFi staff mobile 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, 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.

What you’ll do:

• Must be able to deliver high-quality code on schedule, communicate with groups in and outside the development team.
• Produce well-designed, scalable and reusable code
• Participating in code and design reviews, setting a high bar for the team
• Be able to work effectively across functions and teams to ensure deliverables are met.
• Design and build large features (each with many tasks) independently without guidance.
• Track project performance against defined milestones/goals.
• Collaborate with product managers and other stakeholders.
• Take initiative and produce timely results in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment.
• Mentor more junior engineers.
• Create and add to existing technical documentation.
• Make significant contributions to the code base and drive the roadmap forward.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree, ideally in a technical field, but we understand great engineers come from a variety of different backgrounds and also consider relevant work experience
• 4+ years mobile programming experience in Android or iOS.
• Git-based distributed version control systems.
• Agile-based project development in a microservices environment.
• Test-driven development along with unit and integration testing.
• Strong fundamentals in web protocols.
• Experience developing against REST apis.
• Experience with working with modern mobile design patterns.
• Strong debugging skills.
• Passion for solving complex problems.
• Work and play well with others; SoFi is a collaborative environment.

Nice to have:

• Experience working with Flutter and other cross-platform technologies.
• Reactive programming knowledge (RX, Coroutines, Streams).
• Knowledge of and contributions to mobile open source frameworks.
• Understanding of S.O.L.I.D or G.R.A.S.P principles.
• Understanding of Clean Architecture patterns.
• Previous experience building platform-level frameworks and components in a large codebase.
• Expertise in mobile performance tuning.
