AI Enablement Lead
Meet Upside:
We created Upside to transform brick-and-mortar commerce. Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail—profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality—to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers.

Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.

They'll be the ones that turned individual AI use into shared infrastructure: connected systems, encoded company knowledge, a marketplace of reusable skills (packaged AI capabilities people can install and reuse instead of rebuilding from scratch), and workflows that get smarter the more people use them.
Upside is building that infrastructure. It's called Ascent: a shared layer of connections, encoded company knowledge, and tooling that sits on top of Claude Enterprise, so that getting value from AI doesn't require every employee to build their own one-off setup. Ascent already has a track record. It's the platform behind Upside's engineering org shipping 8-week projects in 3, doubling our historical PR throughput and institutionalizing spec-driven-development org-wide. The same infrastructure is now being extended so the rest of the company, not just engineers,...
