The Role: 

SoFi's Fraud Prevention Center of Excellence (CoE) is responsible for managing enterprise fraud threats across banking products and member-related activities. The Fraud Operations Analytics & Reporting team sits at the center of this mission — driving intelligence through data to improve operational efficiency, agent accountability, and fraud detection efficacy across all fraud product lines.

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to build and scale the data infrastructure that powers the Fraud CoE. This role is the foundational engineering resource for the Fraud Operations Analytics team, responsible for consolidating data pipelines into governed, source-of-truth data marts and enabling the analytical work that drives operational decisions at the highest levels of the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Data Infrastructure & Pipeline Development

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that consolidate fraud operational data from multiple source systems into governed Snowflake data marts
• Partner with Fraud Data Engineering and the TDM platform team on the foundational Fraud CoE data buildout, including summarized metric tables that standardize reporting across all fraud product lines

Data Modeling & Warehouse Optimization

• Model analytical data within Snowflake to support fraud operations reporting, agent performance scorecards, and fraud tagging quality monitoring
• Build and maintain dbt models that structure data for easy consumption by analysts and Tableau reporting layers
• Ensure query performance, data freshness, and reliability across all fraud data mart tables powering production dashboards and leadership reports

Analytics Enablement

• Partner closely with fraud analysts to understand data requirements and translate them into robust, reusable data structures
• Develop and maintain summarized metric tables that lock reporting logic centrally, ensuring consistency across reporting

Governance & Standards

• Establish and enforce data engineering standards, documentation practices, and pipeline design patterns for the Fraud CoE
• Ensure all data assets are properly documented, tested, and governed to support audit and compliance requirements
• Serve as the data engineering subject matter expert in cross-functional discussions with Fraud Strategy, Fraud Platform, Risk Infrastructure, and Data Engineering partners

What We're Looking For

Required

• 4+ years of data engineering experience with strong hands-on expertise in SQL, Python, and cloud data warehouse platforms 
• Proven experience building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines using modern data stack tools (dbt, Airflow, or equivalent)
• Strong data modeling skills — experience designing analytical data structures optimized for reporting and self-service consumption
• Ability to work closely with analytics and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable data solutions
• Strong documentation habits and commitment to data quality, testing, and pipeline reliability
• Exposure to dbt Cloud, Airflow/MWAA, or similar orchestration platforms

Strongly Preferred

• Experience in financial services, fraud, risk, or compliance data environments
• Familiarity with fraud operations data concepts — fraud tagging, loss attribution, dispute workflows, agent performance metrics, or alert queue management

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The place in numbers

US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $694,100, which is 5.8 times the median household income ($119,422); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 72.4% of households own their home, 3% above the state average (72.4% against 70.2%).

The Salt Lake City-Murray, UT metropolitan area has 826,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $55,240 a year, 8% above the national median ($55,240 against $50,980).

Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

53.8% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 43% above the state share (53.8% against 37.7%). 7.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 18% below the state share (7.3% against 8.9%). The poverty rate is 7.6%, 11% below the state rate (7.6% against 8.5%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 76°F (24.7°C), and the coolest is Jan at 25°F (-3.9°C). About 542 mm (21 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (68 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
