The Role
At SoFi, we are architecting the infrastructure that bridges institutional banking with the decentralized economy. We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Crypto Product and Invest teams to build the visual and interactive layer for two of our most ambitious initiatives: the SoFi Exchange Network (SEN) and our industry-first SoFiUSD stablecoin.
Beyond core infrastructure, we are redefining how members grow their wealth through algorithmic trading and AI. You will build the interfaces that millions of members use to build and invest in automated trading strategies — bringing "quant-grade" tools to the everyday investor.
What You’ll Do
- Build the Command Center: Develop high-performance web applications that allow institutional clients to manage 24/7/365 settlement, real-time payments, and stablecoin minting/burning.
- Craft Member Experiences: Build the retail-facing UI for SoFiUSD, ensuring that complex blockchain transactions feel seamless, secure, and transparent for every SoFi member.
- Architect for Scale: Design and implement scalable, reusable frontend components using React, ensuring a consistent design language across our commercial and crypto suites.
- Collaborate Across Functions: Work deeply with Product and Design to translate complex financial data—like real-time treasury positions and on-chain settlement—into intuitive, responsive user flows.
- Mentor & Lead: Drive the technical bar for the frontend team through rigorous code reviews, documentation, and mentoring junior engineers.
- Own the Lifecycle: Lead large features from ideation to deployment, breaking down complex requirements into executable tasks while maintaining a high bar for test-driven development.
What You’ll Need
- Experience: 5+ years of professional web programming experience, with a heavy emphasis on React.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
- Interface Expertise: Proven ability to build modern, highly-responsive customer-facing components that handle complex state management and data visualization.
- API Savvy: Deep experience designing and consuming backend APIs in a microservices environment.
- Engineering Rigor: A strong foundation in test-driven development (TDD) and modern CI/CD practices.
- Ownership & Drive: A sense of responsibility for the end-to-end user experience. You focus on shipping impactful features and solving user problems over chasing "perfect" architecture.
- Collaboration: Experience in agile environments, refining designs in Git, and working through cross-functional feedback to reduce ambiguity.
Nice to Haves
- Fintech & Banking: Experience building dashboards for financial trading, treasury management, or commercial banking.
- Web3 & Crypto: Familiarity with blockchain fundamentals, wallets (browser extensions/Connectors), and the nuances of displaying digital asset data.
- Data Visualization: Experience with libraries like D3.js or Recharts to visualize high-frequency transaction data and liquidity flows.
- Security Literacy: Understanding of frontend security best practices, particularly regarding financial transactions and sensitive asset management.
- Stablecoin Knowledge: Experience with or interest in stablecoin infrastructure (e.g., minting/burning flows, on-chain vs. off-chain balances).
