Software Engineer, Upstart

• You're a self-starter that's able to leverage tools in your toolbelt to pave your own path forward to progress and deliver work with quality, testability, resiliency, and maintainability in mind
• You may currently specialize on the frontend (React) or backend (Kotlin), but you're looking to get your hands into both areas of the stack
• You're eager to learn and grow as an individual but also enjoy helping your team come along for the ride
• 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

Desirable

• As an engineer on one of Upstart’s newest teams, you’ll work closely with cross-functional partners, working across the whole stack
• Beyond leveraging our existing tech (AWS, Kafka, Spring Boot, Next.js, Kubernetes, Kotlin, React), here’s how you’ll make an impact:
• Proactively search out ways to make an impact beyond the Jira board
• Turn feature-specific tasks into opportunities to up-level the team’s codebase and product
• Know the product intimately enough to propose changes to requirements when we need to find a middle path
• Propose and deliver new ideas that achieve meaningful improvements to our team’s metrics
• Contribute in a meaningful way to quality improvements within our team
