Working with UPPER is one of my best experiences. The company always provides support with any issues during the contract. Managers make a big effort to handle all problems and often stand for employees, not only clients.
Alex from UPPER contacted me with a great Germany-based client for a 3 month long contract which I just gladly extended. I really appreciate opportunities that emerged from my collaboration with UPPER.
Thanks to UPPPER I can work remotely and meet amazing clients.
Working with Upper is like a hobby : peaceful and very relaxing
There's a feeling of working in a very small company operating in a giant landscape. This is the real deal, real companies looking for experienced professionals. Independence, excellent projects, plentiful opportunities, travel opportunity just to name few perks. UPPER is constantly looking for a ways to improve and be more innovative asking for feedback on a regular basis. Joining a company that's succeeding it's always a big perk, anyone joining would take part in "story of success at UPPER".

Frequently Asked Questions
We combine advanced AI with human expertise to match experts to jobs that perfectly align with their skills, experience, and client needs. Our CTO-level specialists oversee every match to ensure an ideal fit for both parties.
Most of our clients are based in the EU, however, we try to promote remote work as much as we can. In case a position requires on-site presence, or occasional visits, we'll make sure you're aware before accepting a job invitation.
This will depend on how much in demand your skills are. For instance, React developers can expect a continuous stream of projects, while skills like PHP are less in demand.
We try to keep you engaged as much as possible. If we see your project is ending soon, and we have a project which matches your skills, we'll put you on the front of the list of candidates.
Next to every job invite, you can see the Engagement Manager responsible for the position. The easiest way to refer a friend is to email the EM with your friend in CC. If you'd like to refer a client, please email Paul Friedrich directly.
This depends on the client and project type and size. In most cases, you will work as a part of a team, lead by a Product Manager.
As most of our clients are EU-based, typical working hours are 9-5 (GMT+1). However, depending on project and team, some clients only require attendance of daily syncup calls (usually before noon), or partial overlap (4 hours/day during their working hours).
