Remote Computer Engineering Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

The Team: 

Upstart Bank is an evolution of Upstart's AI lending platform, focused on simplifying the regulatory infrastructure behind our marketplace while expanding access to credit nationwide. By moving from a fragmented, state-based system to a unified federal framework, Upstart Bank enables more consistent borrower experiences, reduces structural costs, and unlocks opportunities to improve pricing, compliance, and access to credit at scale.

As Senior Manager, Software Engineering for Upstart Bank, you will lead one or more engineering teams responsible for a critical area of the bank platform. You will translate product, regulatory, and operational priorities into technical plans and reliable execution across systems spanning areas such as payments, funding, reporting, or integrations. You will partner closely with Product, Compliance, Legal, Risk, Finance, Operations, and senior engineering leaders to deliver scalable, reliable, and audit-ready infrastructure for a modern banking platform.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a modern bank platform from an early foundation rather than inherit a legacy core.
