As a Series B and growing fast business, we are convinced that in-person collaboration is an important part of our culture, helping us achieve strong business results while fostering personal growth and learning. We are expecting employees to spend more than half of their time working on-site. For certain roles, such as operations, on-site work is essential and may require a full-time presence. If you have any questions about on-site expectations for your role, we encourage you to connect with your hiring manager for further details. Upway is committed to fair pay, embracing diverse backgrounds, and cultivating a culture of excellence. We want to attract and reward talent competitively, and therefore offer a package that includes a competitive base salary and a generous stock option grant.
