We've helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.

Our team works to craft simple and impactful experiences for both sides of our marketplace (merchants + consumers).

This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute and continue to craft the Design practice for a hyper-focused, high-growth team
