Description

• Responsible for planning, implementing, directing, and administering all aspects of the home lending function for Upstart’s newest products: HELOC and Mortgage • Work closely with cross-functional partners, working across the whole stack • Be a self-starter that's able to leverage tools to pave your own path forward to progress and deliver work with quality, testability, resiliency, and maintainability in mind • Specialize on the frontend (React) or backend (Kotlin) while looking to get your hands into both areas of the stack • Eager to learn and grow as an individual while helping your team come along for the ride

Requirements

• 1+ years professional experience in fullstack software • 1+ years proficiency in Kotlin, Java, or C#. (Our backend is in Kotlin, but Java and C# are similar enough that you can learn on the job.) • Some hands-on experience with a JavaScript framework like React • Some hands-on experience with SQL databases and domain modeling • Excellent written and verbal communication. As an engineer, a big part of your job will be representing your projects in cross-functional conversations, and you’ll need to tailor your communication style to fit these different audiences’ needs. • Preference for face-time and synchronous collaboration. We’re a distributed team of remote workers (from coast to coast), and while we predominantly build asynchronously, we prefer facetime when collaborating in a tight feedback loop. You’ll need to be comfortable with a few hours of Zoom per day (e.g. mob programming) to excel in this role. • Comfortable challenging authority. We want engineers who can push back on their managers when they think we’re going down the wrong path. Related: you thrive in environments where you are expected to think like an owner and make decisions like one.
