Job description
The Problem
Getting paid on time represents a significant problem for B2B companies. Unlike consumer payments, where we’ve seen massive amounts of innovation in the form of companies like Venmo & Revolut, B2B payments remain archaic, with most of the work being done in spreadsheets and involving significant amounts of back and forth between different stakeholders.
These inefficiencies are extremely problematic for companies, so much so that some go bankrupt because of this - and COVID hasn’t helped! We’re on a mission to fix this, and bring delightful B2C experiences to B2B finance teams in the process.
The Company
You can think of Upflow as a cross between an analytics tool, workflow editor and payments platform. It helps users: (1) measure their collection efficiency and identify hotspots, (2) align their team around what needs to be collected and how and (3) facilitates and streamlines the payment process. You can check out our open demo environment here.
We’re a growing, close knit team of 13 people (with 3 engineers, 1 PM & 1 Designer) taking on a massive product and engineering challenge. Our working relationship is based on trust and respect, we genuinely enjoy working with each other, and push each other to become better everyday.
We’re backed by amazing investors (YC, eFounders) and some incredible BAs (from Square, Mercury Bank and Netsuite to name a few). And continue to see strong, consistent month on month growth in Europe and in the US.
Our Stack
- 100% Typescript.
- React on the frontend. Node, express, graphql, sequelize, postgres and redis on the backend.
- CI/CD through circleci, hosted on heroku, code on github. Datadog & Sentry for monitoring.
