The Team

As a member of our Servicing Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring smooth loan management, optimizing collections, and cultivating strong customer relationships. Our team’s primary objective is to develop a cutting-edge loan servicing platform, introduce business process automation, enhance efficiency, and deliver an intuitive user experience for both borrowers and internal stakeholders.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Upstart, you’re a leader who can work across the whole stack, who doesn’t need roads paved for you before you take action. You’re an individual contributor who uses tech to ply your craft, but you excel at thinking like a product manager and a business owner when needed. You can handle high-stakes calls with 3rd parties and customers, and you thrive on making decisions that impact not just how we build but what we build. Finally, you’re a mentor, and you take seriously the responsibility to coach and grow each of the engineers around you.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Lead successful cross-team and/or multi-quarter, multi-engineer projects
• Move quickly to drive both existing and greenfield projects forward, while always keeping our end users in mind
• Proactively search out ways to expand impact that extends well beyond the Jira board
• Turn team-specific projects into opportunities to up-level the team and the org’s tech platform
• Help us continue building our engineering team and keep Upstart a genuinely awesome place to work

What we’re looking for: 

• Minimum requirements:
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Technical leadership experience with deep understanding of code release, deployment orchestration / rollout mechanisms, logging, instrumentation, monitoring, and alerting in a microservices environment
• Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience designing, developing, and deploying microservices-based applications
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for the quality and timely delivery of work
  • Demonstrated ability to take feedback well and actively incorporate it into work, showing a growth mindset and a desire to continuously improve
  • Ability to thrive both in self-directed work environments and in collaborative settings, contributing positively to team dynamics
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails or Kotlin

Travel requirements As a digital first company, the majority of your work can be accomplished remotely. The majority of our employees can live and work anywhere in the U.S but are encouraged to to still spend high quality time in-person collaborating via regular onsites. The in-person sessions’ cadence varies depending on the team and role; most teams meet once or twice per quarter for 2-4 consecutive days at a time.

What you’ll love: 

• Competitive Compensation (base + bonus & equity)
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with Health Savings Account contributions from Upstart 
• 401(k) with 100% company match up to $4,500 and immediate vesting and after-tax savings
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
• Life and disability insurance
• Generous holiday, vacation, sick and safety leave  
• Supportive parental, family care, and military leave programs
• Annual wellness, technology & ergonomic reimbursement programs
• Social activities including team events and onsites, all-company updates, employee resource groups (ERGs), and other interest groups such as book clubs, fitness, investing, and volunteering
• Catered lunches + snacks & drinks when working in offices
