We are seeking a Senior Software Engineering Manager to join the SoFi Crypto Team. SoFi is building out new teams to develop crypto products and services for our members.

With SoFiUSD on a public, permissionless blockchain, partners can move funds around the clock with near-instant settlement at fractional-cent pricing. This enables them to manage liquidity with more confidence and deliver faster and more transparent services to their customers. SoFiUSD will also be available soon to all SoFi members.
