The role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineering Manager to join Web Core, a new frontend web platform team at SoFi
This team will be central to scaling our 80+ consumer-facing and internal web applications. In this role, you’ll drive the design, architecture, and development of platform-level tools, libraries, documentation, and frontend patterns that power our web ecosystem.
As a hands-on platform engineering manager, you’ll shape the future of SoFi’s web platform infrastructure—enabling consistency, performance, and scalability across products. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, infrastructure, and executive leadership to define and execute a strategic vision that supports company-wide goals.
The team will be an AI-first team, adopting LLM/agentic-powered technologies to accelerate and scale our web platform. An engineering manager should ideally be excited about learning and integrating with these new tools.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the development and testing of our systems and services
- Participate in shaping the technical architecture of the web platforms
- Deliver reusable web SDKs, libraries and frameworks to scale web applications and drive consistency
- Design and maintain systems that improve developer experience across CI/CD, testing, and deployment pipelines.
- Define standards and best practices for performance, accessibility, and design system adoption.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to drive adoption and alignment of core platform capabilities.
- Tackle complex technical and organizational challenges that span teams and products.
- Mentor engineers, support the technical culture, and help grow the team
- Generate ideas for new initiatives and technologies
- Communicate with project leads, product managers and other software developers
What you’ll need:
- Bachelor’s Degree, in a technical field
- 5+ years programming experience, ideally on a modern web stack
- Experience working on or leading a web platform team at a large company
- 3+ years management experience
- Maintain code quality, performance, and sound architectural principles
- Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
- Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
- Strong 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 (and git specifically), refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests
Nice to have:
- React JS / GraphQL experience
- Good understanding of SOLID principles
- Micro-frontends and federated web app architecture
- Web monorepo experience
