Who would enjoy working in our team?

We are a bit bananas about solving this problem. We work quite ambitiously and enjoy creating an atmosphere where exceptionally skilled and hard-working people thrive, get “impossible” things done and have fun. We love all sorts of people, but in this venture, we want to focus on working with the sharpest minds in order to give solving this problem a chance.

We laugh a lot, because you just cannot not laugh at yourself when trying to list all the THINGS in the world. We are a bit neurotic, weird and nerdy. It's okay if you are, too.

“How do I know if I'm the right person for this team?”

These might be signs that you could be a great fit for Upright at the moment:

    You get a kick out of striving to solve a problem people say is “impossible or at least very difficult” to solve

    The last 3 times you left a job/team, people were asking you to stay

    You get frustrated if the ambition level is not high enough, and typically aim to raise it yourself rather than waiting for someone else to do it

    You often get asked “how do you get so much done and still seem like such a happy and balanced potato?”

    You enjoy the freedom of having control of your own way of working because that's how you get best results done

These, on the other hand, might be signs that you're most definitely an awesome person — but not the right addition to our team right now:

    You love to work in teams, but get a bit anxious when you need to tackle a workstream on your own (we are a small team solving a huge problem, and at this stage everyone needs to excel in and enjoy owning a pretty big slice of the cake)

    You love to think critically and analyze things, but leave the “action part” to other people (e.g. you'd rather write a film review than direct/produce/screenwrite a movie)

    You would love to work in a cool startup with a laid-back culture, free beers, and cool t-shirts, as it would be fun to tell your friends you work in an awesome startup (Nothing wrong with awesome startups! We are one, too, but that as primary motivation would probably make both you and us disappointed)

What we expect from you:

    Solid track record of internal passion for excellence: you have gotten things done clearly better than what was required/expected from you, as you enjoy doing things well

    Clear strengths in analytical/logical/mathematical thinking to be able to understand and contribute to our quantification model

    Enough self-knowledge to be able to treat your ego as your friend and not let it run your daily operations
