Comfort owning large-scale infrastructure programs that span multiple teams and require coordination across R&D, not just execution within your own team.

5-7 years of hands-on AWS experience with deep fluency in compute (EC2, Lambda), databases (RDS, DynamoDB), IAM, networking, and secrets management.

We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce.
Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail-profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality-to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers.
We've helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit.
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.
We want our engineering leaders to be able to make thoughtful, impactful technical decisions while also having the space to coach their engineers and support their growth.
We ask our managers to focus on a team of around 8 direct reports, while our more senior managers may operate across two teams.
The staffing for these reports is always split - we see incredible value from a mix of full-time and contract staff.

Diversity drives innovation, and our differences make us stronger.
We're passionate about building a workplace that represents a variety of backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
Everyone is welcome here!
If there's anything we can do to support a disability or special need during your application or interview process, please email accommodations@upside.com.
