Founding engineer

YouShift is transforming how hospitals and clinics manage staff scheduling. As a founding engineer, you'll be joining a team of engineers and healthcare experts from Harvard who are building the next-generation workforce management platform for healthcare.

The company was born from firsthand experience watching family members in medicine struggle with chaotic, burnout-inducing schedules. YouShift's mission is to bring fairness, flexibility, and intelligence to healthcare staffing through AI-powered solutions.

Unlike traditional tools that replicate spreadsheets or require manual input, YouShift leverages cutting-edge optimization algorithms and agentic AI to create shift schedules that respect both hospital needs and staff preferences. We're replacing outdated admin-heavy workflows with a modern, automated platform that empowers doctors and nurses to have a voice in their schedules.

As a founding engineer, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Shape the technical architecture and foundation of the platform
• Work directly with the founding team to build and iterate on core features
• Implement AI and optimization algorithms for intelligent scheduling
• Create intuitive interfaces for healthcare staff to manage schedules
• Help scale the platform as we expand to more hospitals and clinics

The ideal candidate will be passionate about using technology to improve healthcare operations and have experience building production-ready web applications. You'll be joining at the ground floor of a YC-backed startup tackling a meaningful problem in healthcare workforce management.
