We are a small, mission driven team who care deeply about quality, reliability, and building software that genuinely helps the people who use it. As a close-knit team, how we communicate, collaborate, and share ownership directly shapes how well we work and what we deliver together.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Junior Software Developer to join Upstream Impact in an entry-level hybrid role with a primary focus on QA, release confidence, and DevOps oriented operational support.

Over time, you will contribute small bug fixes, minor enhancements, and internal tooling improvements.

- Help document incidents, recurring issues, and operational procedures clearly and accurately.
- Contribute small bug fixes, low-risk enhancements, and internal tooling improvements under guidance.
- Collaborate closely with Development QA, and Support teammates to improve product quality, release confidence, and operational reliability.
What Success Looks Like:
In this role success means becoming a dependable junior contributor who improves release confidence, reduces team friction, and steadily expands ability to contribute across QA, operations, and development.
