Upwork is excited to announce that we are opening our first international hub, located in Lisbon, Portugal. This expansion marks a significant milestone in Upwork’s evolution into an AI-native platform, creating a new base for product development and technical hiring outside the U.S. It underscores the company’s commitment to investing in the infrastructure and talent needed to shape the future of work.
We have immediately begun hiring! The roles will be focused on technical talent (product, design, product engineering, AI/ML engineering) in addition to more general back-office roles such as Finance and HR. While our office plans are still in development, we are excited to begin hiring immediately.

Come change how the world works.
Upwork is establishing its first international operational hub in Lisbon, Portugal. The new office is expected to be fully operational by Q4 2026. This role will require 3 days in office once we have an office open.
This position will initially be employed through a partner to ensure a seamless hiring process while we establish the hub. Once the hub is established, there may be opportunities to transition to employment with Upwork, depending on business needs and other requirements. While employed by the partner, you’ll work as part of Upwork’s team, with access to our resources, culture, and growth opportunities.
Our partner will offer competitive benefits. When Upwork’s hub is established, we will be excited to offer employment and benefits directly as business needs require.
We use BrightHire, an AI-enabled tool, to record interviews and summarize interview transcripts. The tool allows the interviewer to focus on the discussion and does not score or evaluate candidates or make recommendations. The interview transcripts are reviewed, and decisions are only made by humans. Candidates who prefer not to have their interview recorded through BrightHire can opt out when the interview is scheduled.
