- Own complex incident resolution and guide teams on root-cause analysis.
- Mentorship & Influence
- Act as a technical mentor and sounding board for engineers at all levels; lead by example in design reviews and technical decision-making.
- Champion engineering best practices, system design maturity, and operational excellence across the Invest group.
- Foster a culture of learning, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
- Cross-Team Collaboration
- Partner with Product Managers, Engineering Managers, and Compliance partners to translate business requirements into reliable, auditable systems.
- Collaborate with peer engineers across SoFi to align platform capabilities and infrastructure patterns.
- Lead technical working groups and influence roadmaps that span multiple teams.
What You’ll Need:
- Experience & Education
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 8+ years of professional software development experience, including at least 2+ years in a technical leadership or equivalent staff/principal engineering role.
- Technical Expertise
- Proficiency in JVM-based languages (Java or Kotlin preferred); familiarity with Spring Boot or equivalent frameworks.
- Strong understanding of microservices, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems principles.
- Experience working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with cloud-native tooling, containerization, and infrastructure as code (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.).
- Leadership & Collaboration
- Demonstrated ability to drive large-scale cross-functional initiatives, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, and balance business priorities with technical constraints.
- Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, including executives, product managers, and junior engineers.
