About The Engineering Manager Role

Leadership at Up

In our

As an Engineering Manager, you’ll be a catalyst for
- performing, empowered teams. You’ll foster an environment that champions continuous improvement, nurtures talent, and cultivates a culture of shared purpose and clear context. If you’re driven by meaningful work, operational excellence, and a culture where innovation thrives, we’d love to meet you.

Systems

• Take
  -
  - end ownership of the team’s systems, from uptime to user impact.
