Why You'll Love Working at Uplift
- Enjoy a healthy work-life balance, like everyone else at the company.
- Embark on your own self-driven career path with opportunities for positions like tech lead or client-facing roles to drive product features.
- Work on many different projects and cross-pollinate all the lessons and solutions.
- Work remotely: avoid the time and energy drain of a commute. Uplift has been remote-first since inception–we’re really good at remote collaboration, and always getting better.
- Get together in person once a year for a company off-site.
- Indulge in the freedom to design your own work schedule; whether that includes a four day work week, evening hours, or whatever suits you and your lifestyle, so long as it's clearly communicated.
- You get access to Paul & Marius, two of the brightest minds in engineering & consulting.
- Uplift's projects are often greenfield, using exciting technologies and top-of-the-line coding standards. We offer a collaborative environment and shared resources. Our team can tackle larger projects than you'd take on your own.
