Overview

Uplevel is a Seattle-based engineering intelligence company founded in 2018. It began by measuring developer wellbeing, such as deep work, context switching and burnout patterns, and later broadened into a model that combines engineering analytics with expert guidance. The platform pulls metadata from tools such as Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Slack and calendars to show how work moves through an engineering organization. It also tracks how AI tools affect delivery. Uplevel pairs this data with developer surveys, structured interviews and practitioner-led workshops, aiming to help enterprise engineering leaders diagnose root causes and build their own capability to improve. It targets organizations with roughly 100 or more developers. Engagements progress from a free 45-minute StackUp session to a 45-day GearUp assessment and then a multi-year Uplevel Enterprise partnership. Named customers include Avalara, Accolade, Xactly, Braze, Remitly and Equinix. The company has raised about $34M in funding.
