About upLYFT
upLYFT is building movement intelligence through wearable technology. We combine smart clothing, embedded sensing and software to help people understand how they move across performance, rehabilitation and health.
The role
This is a core engineering hire. You’ll own the full product stack — backend, mobile, web, cloud infrastructure, and ML deployment.
- This is not a narrow feature role. We need someone who is very strong in scalable backend software engineering, comfortable across full stack product development, and able to work closely with cloud services and machine learning deployment in production.
- You should be the kind of engineer who can move from backend architecture, to APIs, to deployment pipelines, to mobile or web integration, and solve problems without waiting to be told what to do next.
- This role is ideal for someone who likes pace, ownership and technical breadth, and who has shipped real products before.
What you will do
- Own and build core parts of the product stack across backend, cloud and application layers
- Design and implement scalable backend systems, APIs and infrastructure
- Work across web and mobile product surfaces, including integration with Android, iOS and web platforms
- Support deployment and monitoring of machine learning systems in production
- Build robust data flows, services and cloud architecture to support streaming and sensor-driven products
- Improve reliability, observability, CI/CD and development velocity across the stack
- Work closely with product, hardware and data teams to turn prototypes into production-ready systems
- Solve problems quickly and pragmatically in a fast-moving startup environment
What matters most in this role
- Scalable backend software engineering
- Cloud services and deployment
- ML for scale and cloud development
- Signal processing intuition and affinity for bioengineering
What we are looking for
- Strong Python for maintainable, production-grade code
- Hands-on experience training and evaluating machine learning models, ideally on sequential or time series data
- Familiarity with ML pipeline or workflow orchestration tools
- Understanding of experiment tracking and model versioning practices
- MLflow experience is a strong plus
- Experience with cloud storage and compute
- Working knowledge of deployment pipelines and CI/CD
- Strong backend architecture and API design
- Experience working across web platforms
- Comfort working with mobile stacks, including Android and iOS integrations
- Familiarity with Kotlin, Java and iOS development environments
- Ability to operate across the product stack rather than staying in one layer only
How we work
We want engineers who are comfortable owning problems, making decisions, and shipping fast without losing engineering quality. This role suits someone who thrives in ambiguity, likes building from first principles, and wants direct influence over the product and technical direction. You should be excited by the idea of working on hard technical problems across sensing, software, cloud and machine learning in one stack.
Why join upLYFT
- Work on genuinely hard products at the intersection of wearables, software and movement intelligence creating break through technology.
- Join a very fast-moving London startup with real technical ambition and product depth.
- 25 days paid holiday + bank holidays.
- Backed to win – Supported by top UK & HK VCs who love big, audacious health-tech bets.
Salary
£40,000-£55,000 + equity, in-person, London.
