The industry is going through an unprecedented transformation, and we’re at the forefront. We’re proud to come to work every day knowing that what we do has a direct impact on people’s lives, with our core values guiding us every step of the way. Join us to invest in yourself, your career, and the financial world.\nAbout the role\nSoFi is scaling how employees and AI agents safely reach the tools they need to do their jobs. We run a centralized MCP (Model Context Protocol) gateway that lets approved AI clients (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, internal agents) connect to enterprise systems such as Slack, Google Workspace, Jira/Confluence, GitLab, Datadog, Snowflake, Glean, and ServiceNow, with SSO/OAuth brokering, policy enforcement, and full auditability.\nAs our Sr. Staff AI Enablement Engineer, you'll own the strategy and day-to-day operation of this platform and the customer-facing interfaces employees use to get AI tool access. You'll turn a security-approved control plane into a fast, self-service path to AI productivity across the company. You'll partner closely with Product Security, IAM, Engineering, and business leaders.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn the MCP gateway platform end to end. This covers the catalog and registry of approved MCP servers, onboarding of new connectors, OAuth scope configuration, tool-level enablement and disablement, and lifecycle and hygiene.\n Design the customer experience for AI tool access. Build intake, request, and provisioning flows (Compass/ServiceNow, Slack, Okta), documentation, and self-service paths that cut time-to-access from weeks to hours.\nPartner with Product Security and IAM on MCP approval, threat modeling, least-privilege scopes, and incident response. Turn security requirements into operational guardrails that don't block adoption.\n Run operations for the platform. This includes L1/L2 support models, runbooks, SLAs, monitoring and observability of tool usage, and vendor management (e.g., Cequence and SaaS connector vendors).\nDrive adoption and measure impact. Define and report adoption, usage, and value metrics by function to IT and SLG leadership, and identify the next high-leverage integrations.\nAutomate access governance. Integrate the gateway with joiner/mover/leaver processes, access reviews, and audit evidence for SOX and regulatory requirements.\n Set technical direction. Evaluate emerging agent and tool-access standards (MCP, A2A, agent identity), build vs. buy, and the roadmap for internal and customer-facing AI interfaces.\nMentor and influence. Guide IC1-IC4 engineers and analysts, and influence function-level decisions with senior ICs and SLG.\nWhat you'll need \nBachelor's degree and 12+ years of related experience (or Master's and 10+ years; PhD and 7+ years) in IT operations, enterprise systems, platform engineering, or identity.\nTrack record of owning complex, companywide programs or platforms and independently handling their planning, execution, and resourcing.\nHands-on experience with LLM and agent tooling: MCP servers and clients, API gateways, and AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot.\nDeep knowledge of identity and access: SSO/SAML, OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SCIM, Okta, and least-privilege and RBAC design.\nStrong integration and automation skills. That means REST/GraphQL APIs, scripting (Python, TypeScript, or similar), iPaaS (Workato or similar), and ServiceNow workflows.\nExperience operating in a regulated environment (financial services preferred), including audit, data retention, and change management.\nAbility to translate between security, engineering, and business stakeholders, and to influence without authority.\nNice to have\nExperience building or running an AI gateway, API gateway, or developer platform (e.g., Cequence, Kong, Apigee).\nExperience building Slack bots, deflection bots, or agentic workflows for IT or employee support.\nFamiliarity with AI governance frameworks (NIST AI RMF) and LLM security risks (OWASP LLM Top 10, prompt injection, tool poisoning).\nCompensation and Benefits\nThe base pay range for this role is listed below.
