Uplinq Corporation Scottsdale , AZ 85250
Posted 1 week ago
This is a hybrid role, and we expect that you work from our Scottsdale, AZ office 1-2 times per week. We value the flexibility of remote work, but believe some of our best collaboration happens in person.
About Uplinq
We are an Arizona-based startup building software to automate bookkeeping and accounting for small businesses. This wasn't always our plan. When we started Uplinq, we wanted to help small businesses work with acquirers/investors, survive loan due diligence, and use their financial data to make timely business decisions. We tried solving these problems directly to no avail and quickly realized they are all symptoms of a bigger problem: bookkeeping is hard, and SMBs hate doing it.
Since then we've been hard at work reinventing bookkeeping as a SaaS product. What we've built to date allows us to offer high-quality, real-time, and affordable bookkeeping to hundreds of small businesses.
Our customers are dentists, restaurant owners, insurance agents, realtors - real people from all walks of life.
Some tried to manage their books in QBO themselves and couldn't keep up.
Some paid a CPA firm too much for bookkeeping that only gets updated once a quarter.
Some switched from companies like Bench and Pilot looking for better service.
We are a tight-knit team of about 35 CPAs, engineers, accounting specialists, tax preparers, product designers, and marketers. We support each other, communicate openly, have fun at work, and all believe in Uplinq's mission to help real people run their businesses better.
About the Role
The engineering team is looking for a mid to senior level full-stack software engineer to build customer-facing and internal features with an emphasis on improving the scalability of our bookkeeping and tax products. An engineer in this role will solve high-impact business problems by directly communicating with stakeholders, writing quality software, and monitoring their work for impact once deployed.

And here are some things we've recently shipped that we're proud of:
An auto-reconciliation tool consisting of
an algorithm for detecting account reconciliation issues
a view in our customer app that prompts users to upload PDF bank statements
an integration with a document processing vendor that extracts transactions from bank statements and deduplicates them to solve reconciliation issues
tools for our onboarding team to track what customer data is missing after an onboarding and automatically request it from the customer.
a refactor of our QBO integration that allows us to leverage our categorization AI for customers who still use Quickbooks.

About Uplinq Engineering
Uplinq's tech stack is built and maintained by three engineers:
We've had help from other engineers for brief stints, but the three of us have been developing Uplinq since the beginning. Because of our size, we each own large portions of the system and routinely ship very impactful features. Our next team member will get to do the same.
Most of our development takes place in a typescript monorepo managed with pnpm workspaces. We call it updog. Here are some of the things you can find in updog:
