The Team
The Borrow design team at SoFi crafts seamless, intuitive experiences across our lending products, helping members borrow with confidence and realize their ambitions.
Borrowing can feel overwhelming and complex. As product designers, our role is to reduce friction, increase clarity, and build trust in high‑stakes, decision‑heavy moments. We shape the future of loan origination by delivering new features and improving current experiences that help members understand options, qualify, and get to “yes” faster.
The lending journey has two key milestones: applying for a loan and, once funded, paying on time. This role focuses on the first milestone — from product education and discovery through pre‑qualification, application, verification, and offer selection.
The Role
As a Senior Designer, it will be your responsibility to shape the future of personal finance by delivering new features, optimizing our existing products, holding a high standard for excellence and collaborating with a multi-disciplinary set of stakeholders. You’ll work on one or more efforts concurrently within a particular product area. Additionally, you’ll coordinate with designers and researchers within your product area and related areas to bring the best experiences to life for our members.
SoFi has achieved significant growth and has ambitious plans ahead, but to continue this growth we need great talent. And that starts with you.
