Upwind is a place where opportunities happen
At Upwind, we are a team of hands-on, problem solvers and doers. We believe in empowering organizations to run their cloud environments securely and efficiently to accelerate their businesses.
We are Driven by Customers
We listen closely to understand our customers’ deepest pain points, working backwards to deliver easy-to-use, innovative solutions that not only meet immediate needs, but anticipate future ones.
We prioritize long-term relationships and value over short term outcomes, striving to exceed expectations and reinforce our customers’ trust in Upwind.
We value speed
We make decisions swiftly, recognizing many can be reversed or refined.
We believe in failing fast, and aren’t afraid to change course when necessary. With a bias for action we take calculated risks – even in the face of uncertainty – knowing that urgency drives momentum and propels us forward.
Speed doesn’t just get us there faster; it lets us adapt quickly and build on each step with what we learn.
We Improve Every Day
We believe in the power of incremental progress: every day, every meeting, and every decision is an opportunity to improve.
Committing to getting 1% better with each cycle creates compounding gains, allowing us to build products that are 10x better over time.
Improvement doesn’t stop with delivery; we follow up, adapt, and refine to ensure every outcome evolves towards excellence.
We Take Ownership
We get the job done and never assume that someone else will do it.
When things aren’t going right, we take responsibility and step in to fix it. No task is beneath us, and “it’s not my job” isn’t in our vocabulary.
As owners, we stay aligned with the bigger picture for Upwind, communicating efficiently, giving constructive feedback, and proactively escalating issues to keep everyone moving forward together.
We are Resourceful and Resilient
We create our own reality, accomplishing more with less by leaning on creative problem-solving & adaptability.
When we face constraints and the path forward isn’t clear, we find ways to make it work without sacrificing quality or our commitment to high standards.
We see setbacks as new opportunities to innovate, moving forward stronger and better prepared.
