About Upgrade
About Upgrade: Upgrade is a consumer credit platform that is changing how people think about credit. Our founding team pioneered online lending over a decade ago and launched Upgrade in 2016 using their experience and the latest available technology to make credit more transparent and affordable. While Upgrade is very well funded with $142 million in equity capital, we’re still in the early days and you have a great opportunity to make your individual impact towards our collective mission. Make an impact: Our team of talented and passionate engineers come from diverse backgrounds fostering a culture that embraces individual perspectives. We have a flat structure with minimal management layers cultivating an open and collaborative environment that empowers our engineers with freedom to innovate and have end-to-end ownership. We encourage people to voice their ideas, introduce and learn new technologies, and take risks. We are a microservices architecture with plans to rapidly launch a wide range of products. By joining Upgrade at this early stage, you'll be tackling big problems and building innovative products that will have a significant impact and make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Hear from our team: "We're building the next generation of credit products which is exciting and challenging at the same time. I feel like I have ownership over my work but part of a unified purpose - innovate and build for our customers. I know I'm making a real impact when I see a product I've been working on go live and customers are using it, and liking it! This is what makes me love coming to work every day." - Manjiri Mandhale, Senior Software Engineer "One of the great things of working at Upgrade is being surrounded by so many smart and humble people, and I learn from them every day. Combined with a culture where everyone’s voice is valued and heard, this makes for a very collaborative and thriving workplace. It is very empowering and it truly feels like we can achieve anything we, as a *[team or company]*, set our mind to.” - Alex Belisle-Turcot, Principal Software Engineer Join us: We are hiring in San Francisco, Montreal, Chicago, and Argentina.
