DevOps Engineer

The Role

Are you passionate about building technology that makes a real difference in people’s lives? Do you enjoy shipping code, solving meaningful problems, and learning from others in a collaborative environment? Are you curious about advancing the future of financial technology while growing your own skills and career? If so, we’d love to have you join us at SoFi!

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our IT Infrastructure Engineering team, where we aim to deliver resilient, secure, and scalable solutions that support all of SoFi. Our team focuses on building shared services and is made up of four core areas: DevOps (product enablement), SRE (resiliency and availability), Security (Zero Trust and perimeter), and End Point (user devices and tooling).

We value diverse perspectives, strong engineering fundamentals, and a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. Whether you’re from a startup, enterprise, self-taught, or university-trained background, if you love solving infrastructure challenges and building reliable systems, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Build Scalable Solutions: Design and develop a unified platform for compute, storage, networking, and authentication on AWS using infrastructure-as-code tools.
  
  
• Solve Technical Challenges: Apply sound judgment and creative thinking to tackle complex issues, balancing technical trade-offs and business goals.
  
  
• Drive Project Success: Take ownership of projects that span teams, resolve escalations, and help ensure timely delivery and alignment.
  
  
• Manage Risk: Identify and communicate risks to ensure they’re addressed proactively with proper mitigation strategies.
  
  
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with engineering, security, product, and other stakeholders to understand needs and build shared success.
  
  
• Adapt and Innovate: Iterate quickly, learn from experimentation, and help improve systems and processes.
  
  
• Champion Improvements: Look for opportunities to improve our tools, pipelines, and practices — and take initiative to make things better.
  
  

What You’ll Need

• Cloud Experience: Hands-on experience with AWS and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform. Familiarity with GitLab and CI/CD pipelines.
  
  
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in languages such as Go, Python, or similar.
  
  
• System Knowledge: Understanding of networking, compute, and storage in cloud environments.
  
  
• Problem-Solving Ability: Able to break down complex issues and balance technical depth with business context.
  
  
• Collaboration Skills: Strong communication skills with a focus on empathy, transparency, and team alignment.
  
  
• Growth Mindset: Comfortable with change, eager to learn, and willing to mentor or be mentored.
  
  

Bonus Points For:

• Experience in a fast-paced environment or regulated industry
  
  
• Familiarity with DevOps principles or security practices
  
  
• Contributions to open-source or community-driven projects
