Description For Senior Software Engineer, Delivery

Upstart, a leading AI lending marketplace, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Delivery team. This role presents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of financial technology through building and maintaining robust developer tools and CI/CD platforms.

The position sits within Upstart's Delivery team, which is responsible for creating and maintaining tools that enable Upstart developers to reliably ship features and push changes to market faster with minimal engineer effort. The team treats platform services as a product, focusing not just on operational excellence but on maximizing engineering velocity and value through data-driven decisions and customer interviews.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be instrumental in architecting, planning, building, automating, and scaling the tools used by Product Engineers. This is a full engineering role, not an administration or support position, requiring broad and deep experience in both full stack software development and operations engineering. You'll work on creating durable solutions from requirements gathering to implementing highly available, well-observed production systems.

The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $163,600 to $226,400 USD, along with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, equity through ESPP, and various wellness programs. Upstart embraces a digital-first approach, allowing for remote work across the US, with physical offices in San Mateo, Columbus, and Austin.

The ideal candidate will bring 5+ years of experience with modern web applications, strong expertise in CI/CD systems, and deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and monitoring tools. You'll be joining a company that's revolutionizing lending through AI, with a mission of enabling access to effortless credit based on true risk.

This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on developer productivity and product delivery while working with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-paced fintech environment. Regular on-site collaboration sessions occur quarterly, with Upstart covering all travel-related expenses for remote team members.
