Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners the consumers they serve and important sustainability initiatives.
About the role:
At Upside engineers are expected to gather the right context from those around them and take thoughtful calculated risks. By doing so we help our teams move quickly and make informed decisions that lead to high quality software and delightful user experiences.
