Why Upvest:

• We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change.

• We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, a development budget, and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role.

• We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we also hire decent people who are passionate about their craft and helping to achieve our shared mission).

• While we're not quite fully remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer as we understand you don't have to be in the office everyday to do your best work.

• We live a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way), and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).

• Last but not least, we take time to have fun as a team with regular team dinners, group events, or occasional celebrations (as the situation allows).

Our values:

• Learn and grow. We aim high to shape our future. We give and request honest feedback knowing that we develop together. Progression over Perfection.

• Team first. We make it easy for others. We value our differences and are open to others' opinions. We win and celebrate together! Team over Egos.

• Own the outcome. Whether we win or we lose, we stand together. We are proactive and get the job done. Outcome over Process.

• Tell the story. We always start with the why. We share knowledge to empower others. Transparency over Complexity.

Upvest is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
