- Test and review your own code as well as your team members’ to hold our development team to a high standard of quality
How We Hire &What We’re Looking For
We want everyone to thrive at Upside and scope our roles through the lens of “how can we best set this person up to succeed?” We prioritize culture-add over culture-fit, hire for potential, and value transferable skills.

Benefits &Wellness
Our philosophy is that we cannot take care of others (our customers) without taking care of ourselves (our people) first. We believe that the definition of ‘wellness’ is unique to everyone which is why we’ve created a benefits package with a broad range of options in order to best accommodate the needs of our team.
As a pre Series A startup, we know the value in offering a steady support system such as a robust benefits plan, salaries in line with or above startup market rate, work from anywhere flexibility, and beyond.
Here are a few other ways we support our team:
- Medical, Dental, &Vision insurance premiums are covered for employees &their families.
- Paid Time Off: We offer three weeks of paid vacation each calendar year and perpetuate a working environment conducive to taking time off.
- Holidays: We observe 12 paid holidays annually.
- Wellness: We offer a monthly budget to invest in anything that supports wellness as you define it - whether that be physical, mental, emotional, financial, and beyond.
- Ongoing education: We cover the costs of books, podcasts, and classes that support career growth specific to your role and/or our industry.
- Flexible Days &Schedule: We ask that the team is available on Tuesdays for internal meetings and collaboration, though understand that the rest is up to each individual to customize their working hours and schedule.
- Equity &Inclusion (E&I): We incorporate E&I education &awareness into team meetings as well as leadership development. We allocated resources for in-house DEI expertise after our first ten hires to ensure that we are applying best E&I practices across all facets of the Company, while actively contributing to progress in our industry.
- Team Retreats, Meetings, &Travel: While group gatherings are temporarily on pause due to the pandemic and the latest CDC guidance, we have and will cover costs for future all-team retreats, ad hoc team meetings, and travel no questions asked.
Thank you for considering joining the Upside Financing team! We genuinely appreciate your interest.
