The role

As a Staff Enterprise Security Engineer at SoFi, you will serve as the subject matter expert for Data Loss Prevention (DLP) while driving engineering across broader enterprise security domains—including email security, endpoint protection, network defense, and phishing simulation. Sitting within the Enterprise Security team, this role balances technical focus on data protection with hands-on architecture, operation, and automation of foundational IT and corporate security controls.

We seek security leaders who combine technical mastery in tool administration (e.g., Zscaler, Proofpoint, Sentra, CrowdStrike) with systems thinking to mitigate risk across diverse threat vectors. In this role, you will define risk mitigation strategies and build clear technical roadmaps—accelerating security delivery while maintaining safety, correctness, and data protection.

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end delivery and architecture for enterprise security capabilities: enterprise zero-trust networks, endpoint security, and SaaS posture management.
• Frame complex security challenges: clarify security requirements, threat models, failure modes, and success metrics while proposing clear architectural options and tradeoffs.
• Design for scale and resilience: establish secure baseline configurations, automate security guardrails, and reduce systemic attack surfaces with minimal enterprise friction.
• Collaborate with internal security teams to establish and maintain threat signaling to ensure that proper visibility and alerting is achieved across tooling.
• Raise cybersecurity standards through design reviews, active mentorship of team members, and establishing enterprise security patterns and best practices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, Infrastructure, Risk/Compliance, and Engineering teams to deliver secure member outcomes.
