Job description
Upbound is redefining how modern infrastructure is built for the Agentic AI Era. We're the creators and primary maintainers of Crossplane, and we're building the Intelligent Control Plane-a new platform layer that makes infrastructure programmable, autonomous, and composable.
Our mission is to power the AI-native enterprise with a foundational platform layer that helps teams provision, operate, and adapt infrastructure at scale-so platforms are ready for both humans and AI agents. We partner with leading cloud providers, ISVs, and open-source communities to help organizations move faster with greater confidence.
Today, Upbound supports Fortune 500 companies and platform engineers across 100+ countries. Crossplane has surpassed 100M+ downloads and is used by 1,000+ teams worldwide. We're a Series B company backed by GV (formerly Google Ventures), Altimeter Capital, and Intel Capital, and we've raised $69M to date. Learn more at upbound.io
Upbound is building the control plane for the modern enterprise. As the company behind Crossplane, the open-source CNCF project that extends Kubernetes into an AI-native cloud control plane.
