More about this role

We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail—profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality—to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. 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.

You’ll help shape the teams building Upside’s product by leading full-lifecycle recruiting for B2C technology roles. By combining deep knowledge of the tech talent market with strong relationship-building and thoughtful sourcing strategies, you’ll identify and attract exceptional candidates. Your work will help Upside scale quickly while maintaining a high bar for talent in an evolving and competitive hiring landscape.
