Product Designer

About Upflow

Today, most companies are still struggling to collect payments from their customers: hundreds of unpaid invoices, anarchic communications, multiple payment methods. They lose tons of hours on zero value-added tasks, suffer from late payments that hinder their growth, and sometimes go bust because of cash flow issues. It's time for a change.

Upflow is the modern hub to manage all data exchanges, communications, and payments to get paid faster, simpler.

We are a product-led organization solving this problem with a tech approach.

We've launched in 2018 and are already trusted by awesome businesses in the EU & US, including Lattice, Front, Triplebyte, Iziwork, Adikteev, Proxyclick, and more. We're also backed by leading investors (YCombinator, 9yards, eFounders) and top executives business angels from N26, Square, Mercury, Uber, and Netsuite.

We're a remote-friendly, distributed team across 3 continents and rapidly expanding.

Joining our team

Discovery call

You'll first talk to Antoine, Talent Acquisition Manager, on a 30-minute call to get to know you and explore if we can be a good fit for each other. No need to prepare anything.

In-depth interview

You'll do a 1hr call with Aleks, Senior Designer, to talk in-depth about your previous experiences.

We'll discuss how you approach Design, Product, Collaboration, etc.

This is primarily used to feel your experience better, how you work, and if we can be a good fit for each other. (Pssst: Aleks would be your manager at Upflow.)

Design Challenge

The goal here is to demonstrate your skills, how you work, etc.

We'll share a take-home assignment (not Upflow related).

We know this can take time and don't want you to spend too much time on it; we'll accommodate to see what works best for you.

We'll then debrief together.

Meet the team

You'll meet some team members, ensure there is a fit and ask any question you may have for them. Those quick meetings can be packed in a day.

Founder interview

Meet with Barnaby, CTPO & cofounder at Upflow. You’ll be walked through the vision. It’s your chance to ask the remaining questions.

Offer and reference calls

At that point, we will make you an offer.

In parallel, we will talk to a few people you've worked with before to learn more about how we can best work with you. We expect to hear great things, so this is primarily to work with you as effectively as possible.
