As a Software Engineer II on Upstart’s Lifecycle Platform team, you will design and build scalable backend services that power the company's unified communications platform across SMS, email, push notifications, and emerging channels. You will develop real-time event-triggered messaging systems and self-serve marketing automation capabilities, translating complex datasets into actionable insights through APIs and streaming pipelines. Working closely with product managers, lifecycle marketing, data insights, analytics, and data platform teams, you will define requirements and deliver impactful solutions. Independently leading medium-sized projects, you will manage risks and drive execution from design to launch while enhancing engineering culture by improving system reliability and communication. The role requires experience in building microservices and APIs in a cloud environment, proficiency in backend languages like Kotlin or Python, and strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams. Preferred qualifications include familiarity with reverse ETL tools, data pipeline tooling, and real-time event streaming systems.
