What is it like to work at Upsolver?

What exactly is Upsolver Engineering? #

We are about 25 employees in Software Engineering, Customer Operations, QA, Design and related disciplines.

What do Software Engineers at Upsolver work on? #

There is a lot of interesting and challenging work for Software Engineers at Upsolver.

Our back-end engineers work on everything from the API to the Data Engine and related infrastructure. Such tasks can be to find performance improvements squeezing out another few percentage points from CPUs already running hot. Or implement new data processing features and logic. Or write connectors to other cloud services that we want to support. Or write SQL parsers and API endpoints.

Front-end developers work on creating user interfaces that let the user intuitively understand a product that does a lot of complicated things behind the scenes.

Regarding what our product is and what its capabilities are, see our company website.
