We are an internally focused team. All Upvest engineers are our partners, and improving their experience is our goal. You will develop and own the shared services and libraries used by Upvest’s Product Engineering teams to deliver their services. Improve engineering productivity and effectiveness by refining those tools and processes.

An engineer of the Engineering Enablement team must be an allrounder, as comfortable working on microservice development as automation scripts. Our services range from a “classic” API, backed by a database, to a service capable of orchestrating a workflow involving GitHub, Linear, Crossplane and Slack.

A product mindset is essential, as the team works with short iterations and feedback loops to make sure our products have a high adoption rate. It’s our job to experiment with new technology and product ideas. Experiments may fail sometimes, but we learn every time and never shy away from the next experiment.
