Paul

Working with UPPER is one of my best experiences. The company always provides support with any issues during the contract. Managers make a big effort to handle all problems and often stand for employees, not only clients.

Liviu

Full stack developer

There's a feeling of working in a very small company operating in a giant landscape. This is the real deal, real companies looking for experienced professionals. Independence, excellent projects, plentiful opportunities, travel opportunity just to name few perks. UPPER is constantly looking for a ways to improve and be more innovative asking for feedback on a regular basis. Joining a company that's succeeding it's always a big perk, anyone joining would take part in "story of success at UPPER".

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the hiring process look like?

The screening process involves several interviews in which we assess each candidate´s skills, seniority and personality. We do not believe in "one size fits all" processes. Each person is unique and we like to tailor the vetting and adjust it to each talent. This is something that really differentiates us from our competitors. At UPPER we are human-driven!

Where are clients located?

Most of our clients are based in the EU, however, we try to promote remote work as much as we can. In case a position requires on-site presence, or occasional visits, we'll make sure you're aware before accepting a job invitation.

How quickly can I get a job?

This will depend on how much in demand your skills are. For instance, React developers can expect a continuous stream of projects, while skills like PHP are less in demand.

Do you provide continuous work?

We try to keep you engaged as much as possible. If we see your project is ending soon, and we have a project which matches your skills, we'll put you on the front of the list of candidates.

How do refer a friend or client?

Next to every job invite, you can see the Engagement Manager responsible for the position. The easiest way to refer a friend is to email the EM with your friend in CC. If you'd like to refer a client, please email Paul Friedrich directly.

Do I work solo or as a part of a team?

This depends on the client and project type and size. In most cases, you will work as a part of a team, lead by a Product Manager.

What are the timezone requirements when working with clients?

As most of our clients are EU-based, typical working hours are 9-5 (GMT+1). However, depending on project and team, some clients only require attendance of daily syncup calls (usually before noon), or partial overlap (4 hours/day during their working hours).
