About Upstart
At Upstart, we’re united by a mission that matters: to radically reduce the cost and complexity of borrowing for all Americans. Every day, we bring creativity, experimentation, and advanced AI to reshape access to credit, helping millions move forward financially with clarity and confidence.
As the leading AI lending marketplace, we partner with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit through technology that’s both radically intelligent and deeply human. Our platform runs over one million predictions per borrower using more than 1,800 signals, powering smarter, fairer decisions for millions of customers. But the numbers only hint at the impact. Every idea, every voice, and every contribution moves us closer to a world where credit never stands between people and their financial progress.
We’re proudly digital-first, giving most Upstarters the flexibility to do their best work from wherever they thrive, alongside teammates across 80+ cities in the US and Canada. Digital-first doesn’t mean distant. We’re intentional about in-person connection through team onsites, planning sessions, and moments that spark creativity and trust. And whether you choose to work primarily from home or collaborate in-person from one of our offices in Columbus, Austin, the Bay Area, or New York City (opening Summer 2026), you’ll have the support to work in the way that works best for you.
If you’re energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate with purpose, and motivated by work that truly matters, 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 a Software Engineering role with some focus on DevOps. 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 CI/CD solutions
How you’ll make an impact:
What we’re looking for:
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.
