uPay operates a payment infrastructure layer across the UAE, combining physical kiosks for mobile top-ups and bill payments with backend processing for cross-border transactions. The tech stack—Kafka, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Spark, Flink—signals investment in high-volume transaction handling and real-time data pipelines, while active work on global payment corridors and settlement efficiency points to a company expanding beyond domestic kiosk operations into regional payments rails.
uPay provides payment services through a dual-channel model: self-service kiosks distributed across the UAE for mobile recharges and bill payments, plus backend payment processing infrastructure. Founded in 2013, the company operates from Dubai and is now scaling cross-border payment capabilities. The team of 11–50 is distributed across engineering, finance, support, and sales, with current hiring focus on mid-level engineering and finance roles. Active projects center on building international payment corridors and optimizing settlement workflows.
uPay's stack includes Kafka and RabbitMQ for messaging, Elasticsearch for search and analytics, Apache Spark and Flink for stream processing, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for storage, and Java, Go, and Python for application logic.
uPay is actively recruiting in the United Arab Emirates and China.
