About Upstart
Upstart is a leading AI lending marketplace partnering with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit. By leveraging Upstart's AI marketplace, Upstart-powered banks and credit unions can have higher approval rates and lower loss rates across races, ages, and genders, while simultaneously delivering the exceptional digital-first lending experience their customers demand. More than two-thirds of Upstart loans are approved instantly and are fully automated.
Upstart is a digital-first company, which means that most Upstarters live and work anywhere in the United States. However, we also have offices in San Mateo, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas.
Most Upstarters join us because they connect with our mission of enabling access to effortless credit based on true risk. If you are energized by the impact you can make at Upstart, we’d love to hear from you!
The Team
Upstart’s Delivery team builds and maintains the platform for our AI lending products. The team is dedicated to creating and maintaining tools allowing Upstart developers to reliably ship features and push changes to market faster with minimal engineer effort, and to provide visibility of those changes and configuration.
As a Senior Software Engineer at Upstart on the Delivery team, you will help architect, plan, build, automate and scale the tools used by Product Engineers to build, test, and deliver their code to production. You will be instrumental in defining and implementing our core platform infrastructure and help us realize our data-driven mission of affordable credit.
We treat platform services as a product. We’re not only keeping the lights on and driving operational excellence, we’re also getting in the heads of engineers and trying to figure out how our work can maximize value to the company. We conduct customer interviews. We collect and analyze data. We’re passionate about maximizing product engineering velocity and value.
This is an engineering role. The expectation is that the right candidate can drive the creation of durable solutions from requirements gathering to performant, highly available, well observed production systems. This is not an administration or support role, although those activities may be required from time to time. As such, the successful candidate will have broad and deep experience in both full stack software development and operations engineering, especially building CICD solutions.
Position Location - This role is available in the following locations: Remote, San Mateo, Columbus, Austin
Time Zone Requirements - This team operates on the East/West Coast time zones.
Travel Requirements - This team has regular on-site collaboration sessions. These occur a few days per quarter at various locations in the US. If you need to travel to make these meetups, Upstart will cover all travel related expenses.
