For generations, women have navigated systems never built with them in mind. The gaps in leadership, health, wealth, and opportunity were engineered into the world we inheritedand now, for the first time, we have the tools to build something better. AI gives us the chance to design technology that truly partners with the women and organizations working tirelessly to advance women and girls. Being trusted to do this work is both a privilege and a responsibility, and I am looking for people who feel that responsibility as deeply as I do.

Uplevylis not a conventional workplace. We have a distinct culture. We exist to create meaningful impact for society, and we hold ourselves to a standard of moving fast while delivering quality that endures. We partner only with those who share our commitment to doing important work, and we build technology that opens doors, expands opportunity, and enables more people toparticipateand benefit.

We hire only A-players and compensate them accordingly. We do notcompromise ontalent, and we part ways respectfully when performance does not meet the standards required by our mission. Everyone atUplevylwears multiple hats. No task is beneath anyone. Decisions are driven by merit, not hierarchy. We prioritize customers over internal convenience, avoid politics, andmaintainzero tolerance for unnecessary bureaucracy.

We move with urgency because the mission demands it. When the work calls for it, we stretch beyond traditional hoursnot out of obligation, but out of genuine commitment to building something transformative. We look for people energized by bold problems, people who find meaning in momentum and possibility, and who bring a proactive, high-ownership mindset to everything they do. If you thrive in environments where innovation, purpose, andhigh standardscome together, you will feel at home atUplevyl.
