The Role
SoFi is a next-generation financial services company and national bank focused on transforming personal finance through innovative technology. The Money team builds the core banking products — checking, savings, and debit/spend — that millions of consumers trust with their everyday financial lives.
We are seeking a Senior Staff Product Designer to help lead and elevate design for Money: an opinionated design lead who will set the direction for the product experience, prototype boldly using AI, and raise the bar for visual craft, communication, and stakeholder influence.

- Leverage AI-first prototyping to rapidly explore and validate design concepts using LLM-based tools and vibe coding environments, compressing the distance between idea and testable prototype.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Research to shape the strategic roadmap; present design concepts compellingly to executive leadership, earning trust through a clear point of view and well-reasoned rationale.
- Communicate design decisions with precision and passion through comprehensive specs, persuasive presentations, and the ability to make the "why" behind design choices land clearly at every level of the organization.
- Bring exceptional visual design sensibility to every touchpoint, from core interaction patterns to polished, pixel-perfect executions that feel premium, clear, and trustworthy at consumer scale.
- Act as a mentor and standard-bearer within the design organization, coordinating across product areas to align the larger SoFi ecosystem and helping to grow and mature the design culture.
- Work with established design systems to ensure consistency and scalability while contributing to their evolution as Money products change and grow.

- AI Prototyping Fluency: Hands-on experience using LLM tools and vibe coding environments to rapidly explore and pressure-test design concepts.
- Ability to leverage user research, user needs, and product data to inform product definition and design solutions.
- Ability to navigate and manage senior leadership, representing design perspective and advocating for user needs in the context of business and technology drivers.
- Experience designing consumer financial products at scale — products actively used by millions of people.
