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 Role

As a Senior Mobile Software Engineer on Upstart’s Cash Line team, you’ll build mobile experiences for a new consumer credit product that gives customers always-on access to a reusable line of credit they can draw from, repay, and use again in real time. You’ll use React Native to ship high-quality features that directly shape how customers discover, access, and manage Cash Line in the mobile app.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to own end-to-end feature delivery, make strong technical decisions, and help define the mobile experience for a foundational new business line at Upstart. You’ll work closely with product, design, backend, and cross-functional partners to build thoughtful, reliable experiences in a space where speed, correctness, and customer trust all matter.

The Team

The Cash Line team is building one of Upstart’s newest consumer products: a revolving credit experience designed to create a more durable, recurring relationship with customers beyond a one-time loan. As part of that work, the team is shaping the mobile experience for a product with broad visibility across the customer journey, from application and approval through ongoing account access and reuse.

We’re a fast-moving, highly cross-functional team working at the intersection of consumer product, real-time systems, and financial infrastructure. Our engineers partner closely with teams across product, growth, finance, compliance, and capital markets, and we value people who can combine strong product instincts with pragmatic execution in an ambiguous, high-impact environment.

What You’ll Do

Build and ship user-facing mobile features for Cash Line in React Native across iOS and Android as the product expands.

Design mobile components and systems that are scalable, maintainable, and reliable for a product that operates in real time and directly affects customers’ access to credit.

Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineers to scope, build, and launch experiences that balance customer needs, business goals, and technical quality.

Help define the mobile experience for a foundational new business line, contributing both to near-term feature delivery and longer-term platform direction.

Improve mobile developer velocity and product quality through better tooling, testing approaches, release practices, observability, and performance monitoring.

Work with backend partners to shape APIs and integration patterns that create smooth, resilient client-server experiences.

Identify and resolve performance, usability, and reliability issues in the mobile product, with a strong focus on long-term maintainability.

Contribute to engineering quality through code review, system design discussions, technical planning, and mentorship across the team.
