Upway is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Relocation to Paris)

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing and scaling the platform behind a rapidly expanding marketplace for refurbished e-bikes across Europe and the US. Based in Paris, you'll work at the intersection of engineering and business impact, designing systems that support sourcing, e-commerce, pricing, and operations at scale.

What You'll Do

You’ll lead end-to-end project ownership—from initial concept through to production—ensuring solutions are robust, maintainable, and aligned with strategic goals. You'll tackle complex technical challenges such as building intelligent pricing models and structuring scalable data architectures. Your work will directly influence both product direction and business performance.

Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and business teams to define technical roadmaps and improve processes. You’ll help shape the evolution of the platform by advocating for best practices, system reliability, and long-term scalability.

Requirements

  • Demonstrate a clear understanding of how technical decisions impact business outcomes
  • Excel at breaking down ambiguous problems into structured, executable solutions
  • Take full ownership of projects and deliver results independently in a high-trust environment
  • Possess strong technical fundamentals and experience applying modern software practices
  • Have at least five years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of delivering impactful systems

Preferred Qualities

  • View coding as a tool to solve real-world challenges, not an end in itself
  • Thrive in small, autonomous teams where accountability and initiative are expected
  • Take pride in building products that exceed baseline expectations
  • Seek out difficult problems and enjoy working alongside talented peers who raise the bar
  • Believe responsibility should come with ownership—and actively pursue both
  • Value equity compensation as a way to share in the company’s long-term success
  • Find motivation in seeing your work create measurable change in the business and beyond

Technical Stack

Our systems are built using Typescript, NestJS, React, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker, Vercel, Shopify, Git, Turborepo, Metabase, and Auth0. Familiarity with these tools is a strong plus.

Benefits

  • Relocation support provided for candidates moving to Paris, France
  • Competitive base salary and generous stock option package
  • Opportunity to become a shareholder and grow with the company
  • On-site collaboration culture with more than half of work time expected in person
  • Commitment to fair pay, inclusion, and fostering a diverse workplace
  • Environment that promotes excellence, accountability, and personal development
