The Borrow design team at SoFi is responsible for crafting seamless, intuitive experiences across all loan products, helping people to borrow money to achieve financial independence and realize their ambitions.

Although borrowing money can often feel overwhelming and complex, our role as product designers at SoFi is to ensure that the overall experience minimizes friction. Our responsibility is to shape the future of loan products and personal finance by delivering designs for new features, products and improving current experiences to better serve our members as they make payments on their SoFi loans.

The lending journey for our members consists of two key milestones: first, applying for a loan, and second, making timely payments after the loan is funded. This role specifically focuses on the first milestone, particularly in the Home Loan sector. The team is responsible for designing experiences that assist both new and existing SoFi members in learning about and applying for mortgages, refinancing their homes, and securing credit lines and home equity loans.

You will collaborate across several product areas alongside product managers, engineers, and researchers to create and deliver cohesive experiences that transform the lending landscape for our members.
