The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Data Team. You’ll own the roadmap for how we collect, model, govern, and serve data - and build the team needed to deliver on it. In the first year, that includes formalizing our Data Products strategy, launching a new analytics platform and modernizing our Data Platform capabilities.
This role is ideal for someone who has scaled a data organization before, is comfortable operating in a regulated fintech environment, and wants to shape both technical architecture and set the tone for team culture.
What you’ll do:
- Own hiring, onboarding, and career development for the Data Platform and Data Analytics teams; build out the team as the org scales.
- Set technical direction and engineering standards for data pipelines, warehousing, and analytics tooling.
- Manage team roadmap, prioritization, and delivery against business goals.
- Own the architecture and reliability of our data platform (ingestion, ETL/ELT, orchestration, storage, and serving layers), build a strong culture of ownership and incident response.
- Extend data governance, access control, and PII/PCI-compliant handling practices by leveraging SoFi’s enterprise Data Platform and governance standards
- Partner with business stakeholders (Finance, Risk, Product, Operations) to translate reporting and analytics needs into scalable data models and self-serve tooling
