Role
Who you are
- You have a working knowledge of our tech stack — such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, and React/React Native — and you're eager to learn more every day
- Early in your engineering journey: You have 0–3 years of hands-on experience building software (internships, projects, or full-time roles) and a desire to continuously improve
- Team player: You enjoy working with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers, and are open to feedback and collaboration across the team
- Motivated by outcomes: You want to understand the “why” behind your work and how it contributes to real-world results for users and the business
- Problem solver at heart: You’re proactive, curious, and excited by the idea of working in a fast-paced, startup environment where ambiguity is part of the challenge
- Startup-ready: You’re eager to roll up your sleeves, learn quickly, and contribute to a mission-driven team doing meaningful work
What the job involves
- Collaborate on technical projects across the stack — from brainstorming and design to development and deployment. Example projects include improving the onboarding experience to boost worker sign-ups or supporting dispatch system optimizations to increase shift fill rates
- Contribute to building reliable and scalable features, tools, and services using technologies like Node.js, React/React Native, MongoDB, Python, and GCP
- Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews to improve code quality and learn best practices
- Help monitor and troubleshoot production systems to ensure stability and performance in a high-traffic, two-sided marketplace
- Grow with mentorship and support, gaining exposure to technical decision-making, architecture discussions, and opportunities to take ownership of smaller features or systems over time

Our take
Labor force participation is at an all-time low in the United States, and companies across the board are struggling to combat the shortfall. Shiftsmart’s solution is a dynamic labor marketplace, matching workers on their platform to temporary gigs, and helping companies fill gaps without committing to, or having to attract, full-time talent.
Shiftsmart’s network of over 1.2 million workers serves big-name enterprises like Google, HP, Apple, and Levi’s, and is part of a growing industry of staffing solutions for hourly workers that have been seeing big VC investments over recent years. Driven by the gig economy becoming more normalized and demand for flexible hours increasing, Shiftsmart saw its revenue increase by nearly 400%, and they put this success down to a competitively unique business model that sees more control being put in the hands of workers and employers alike. They have now done work in over 57 countries, and are operating tens of thousands of shifts each week.
Some user feedback suggests the company still has some kinks to iron out on their platform, with multiple complaints about delayed or missing payments. But with thousands of successful, efficient job placements found over the last few years, Shiftsmart are making strides in an area that looks set to remain in high demand.
