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 Team:
Upstart’s Cash Line and Unsecured Installment teams are building and scaling mobile experiences across two important lending product surfaces. This role will help both teams drive Android migration work, strengthen Upstart’s mobile foundation, and support a newly approved Android app launch plan on an aggressive timeline. The work is highly cross-functional and high-visibility, with direct impact on product strategy, engineering execution, and the experience of future Android borrowers.
As the Principal Software Engineer, Android at Upstart, you will lead critical Android initiatives across both the Cash Line and Unsecured Installment teams while helping shape the long-term mobile architecture across those product areas. You’ll serve as the senior technical owner for native Android work, partner across both teams to deliver against an ambitious roadmap, and continue as a mobile specialist after launch with enough React Native experience to influence frontend direction, delivery, and engineering quality across the broader stack. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with meaningful technical leadership, cross-team influence, and mentorship responsibility.
How you’ll make an impact
- Lead Android migration and development efforts across Cash Line and Unsecured Installment product surfaces, making thoughtful technical decisions that improve product quality, scalability, and speed of execution.
- Help deliver against Upstart’s approved Android launch plan, translating aggressive business goals into pragmatic technical milestones and execution plans.
- Set technical direction for mobile architecture, helping the teams evolve a strong foundation across native Android and React Native surfaces while keeping Android expertise at the core.
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering stakeholders across both teams to translate roadmap priorities into durable mobile solutions.
- Raise the bar for engineering excellence through technical leadership, design reviews, mentorship, and pragmatic execution in ambiguous, high-visibility problem spaces.
- After launch, continue as a mobile specialist who can support both the Cash Line and Unsecured Installment teams, bringing deep Android expertise alongside enough React Native fluency to contribute across shared mobile surfaces.
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including substantial experience building and shipping native Android applications in Kotlin and/or Java.
- Proven track record leading large, cross-team mobile initiatives, platform migrations, or new mobile product launches in production environments.

- Native Android depth in Kotlin and/or Java, plus working experience with React Native and TypeScript to operate effectively across a mixed mobile stack.
- Demonstrated technical leadership as a senior individual contributor, including architecture ownership, mentorship, and influence across teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience serving as the mobile or frontend technical lead for a product team or business-critical product surface.
- Breadth across mobile platforms, including familiarity with iOS development, React Native, or cross-platform mobile architecture.
- Background in fintech, lending, or other consumer financial products with complex user journeys and high quality expectations.
- Experience helping teams build conviction around new mobile investments through technical proposals, feasibility work, or proof-of-concept execution.
- Comfort leading through ambiguity in fast-scaling product environments where scope, ownership, and roadmap priorities evolve over time.
- Experience building alignment across engineering, product, design, and leadership partners in high-visibility, cross-functional organizations.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in remote mobile app developer jobs.
- Proficiency in Swift or Kotlin for native iOS or Android development
- Experience with cross-platform frameworks such as React Native or Flutter
- Familiarity with RESTful APIs and third-party SDK integration
- Knowledge of mobile UI/UX guidelines for Apple HIG and Material Design
- Understanding of app release pipelines including App Store and Google Play submission
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Tips for Your Remote Mobile App Developer Job Search
Tailor your resume to platform stack
Recruiters and hiring managers scan for specific SDKs and frameworks before reading anything else. List iOS or Android experience separately, call out Swift, Kotlin, or Flutter explicitly, and match the stack named in each job posting to your own listed skills.
Show shipped apps, not just side projects
Employers weight App Store or Google Play links over GitHub repos because they prove you can navigate release pipelines, app review, and production bugs. Add direct links to live apps in your resume header and portfolio, even if download counts are modest.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists mobile app developer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by architecture keywords to target seniority
Job postings that mention MVVM, clean architecture, or modular design are typically mid-to-senior roles. Searching those terms alongside your preferred platform narrows results to positions that match your actual experience level, cutting through junior-aimed postings.
Prepare for a take-home coding challenge
Most mobile hiring pipelines include a timed or async coding exercise focused on UI implementation, API integration, or state management. Practice building a small feature end-to-end, including error handling and basic unit tests, so you're not slowed down by unfamiliar project setup under time pressure.
Negotiate using platform-specific scope
When discussing compensation, reference the specific platform ownership you'll hold, whether that's owning the iOS codebase, leading cross-platform migration, or managing CI/CD pipelines. Concrete scope makes compensation discussions more grounded than titles alone and gives you a clearer basis to push back or counter.
Remote Mobile App Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote mobile app developer job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote mobile app developer employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote mobile app developers?
Employers currently hiring remote mobile app developers include Fireblocks, Samsara, and CINC Systems, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote mobile app developer roles.
Can you get a remote mobile app developer job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote mobile app developer openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote mobile app developer jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote mobile app developers on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote mobile app developer roles.
Which industries hire the most remote mobile app developers?
Remote mobile app developer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Telecommunications, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors run distributed teams and hire mobile app developers remotely most consistently.
