What is a Data Engineer at SoFi?
At SoFi, a Data Engineer is at the center of the company’s mission to help members achieve financial independence and realize their ambitions. Operating within high-impact divisions like Data Enablement and Risk Analytics, data engineers build and scale the critical data platforms that power personalized customer experiences, machine learning applications, and financial risk models. Because SoFi operates in a highly regulated fintech ecosystem, the data pipelines you build must be exceptionally secure, highly performant, and capable of processing massive volumes of financial transactions with zero tolerance for data loss.
You will work at the cross-section of software engineering and data architecture, collaborating closely with product managers, risk analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders. Whether you are optimizing a cloud data warehouse, designing a semantic layer for self-service business intelligence, or deploying real-time risk mitigation pipelines, your work directly influences strategic decision-making and product innovation. This role requires not only deep technical expertise in modern data stacks but also a strong sense of ownership and the ability to navigate complex, fast-moving financial datasets.
