Senior Software Engineer, Small Dollar Loans

As a Senior Software Engineer at Upstart, you will take the lead on Small Dollar Lending’s core engineering initiatives, understanding how good software design and architecture advances and accelerates business outcomes. You don’t wait for someone to set a path for you; instead, you collaborate with stakeholders across the broader business to identify and drive the team’s success. With deep care and empathy for our customers, you’ll bring your thoughts and opinions on what we build, not just how we build it. Working alongside a team of bright and motivated engineers, you encourage everyone to be their best through coaching and mentorship. You'll leverage our existing tech stack (Kotlin, Spring Boot, React, Next.js, AWS, Kafka) to add features and value, lead successful cross-team and/or multi-quarter, multi-engineer projects, and drive a vision for how best to design and build software in a complex, service oriented environment. You will also propose and deliver new ideas that achieve meaningful improvements to our team’s business metrics, and maintain and champion a quality mindset, finding ways for the entire team to consistently improve reliability.
