YouShift is transforming how hospitals and clinics manage staff scheduling. Founded by a team of engineers and healthcare experts from Harvard, we’re building the next-generation workforce management platform for healthcare—starting with AI-powered shift scheduling.

Born from firsthand experience watching family members in medicine struggle with chaotic, burnout-inducing schedules, YouShift is on a mission to bring fairness, flexibility, and intelligence to healthcare staffing.

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 We’re replacing outdated admin-heavy workflows with a modern, automated platform that empowers doctors and nurses to have a voice in their schedules.

Every hospital in the world depends on complex workforce coordination to function — but behind the scenes, it’s still powered by spreadsheets, calls, and burnout. Scheduling is a mess, burnout is rampant, and administrators are overwhelmed.

At YouShift, we’re building a modern operating system for hospital workforce management — starting with scheduling. Our platform helps hospitals ditch the spreadsheets and create smart, flexible schedules that actually work for both providers and administrators.

We’re backed by Y Combinator and building with the support of advisors and early customers from top-tier hospitals in the U.S. and Spain. Our team is small, technical, and deeply mission-driven.

About the Role

As a Founding Full-Stack Engineer, you’ll join us at the ground level. You’ll work directly with the founders to build and scale the core product — from web and mobile interfaces to backend logic and scheduling infrastructure. You’ll help shape technical decisions, product direction, and company culture.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to work on real-world problems that impact people’s lives — and who’s excited to move fast, take ownership, and build systems from scratch.

What you might work on

• Architect and build product features across web, mobile, and backend
• Design and optimize scheduling infrastructure and internal tools
• Lead decisions around frontend architecture, backend APIs, and database design
• Talk to users and iterate quickly to solve real customer pain points
• Collaborate closely with a small, high-ownership team shipping weekly

Tech stack

• Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, Zod
• Frontend: React, React Native (Expo), TypeScript, Tailwind, tRPC, Tanstack Query
• Infra: AWS

What we’re looking for

• Experience building and shipping full-stack web apps (React + Node/TypeScript)
• Strong fundamentals — you studied CS or taught yourself well
• You enjoy building products from 0→1 and iterating based on user feedback
• Comfortable across the stack (or excited to grow there)
• Startup mindset: scrappy, curious, fast-moving, ownership-driven
• Bonus: experience with scheduling systems, calendars, or healthcare

What we offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• 100% remote, with opportunities to work with the team in the US
• High ownership and impact from day one
• Work on something that actually helps people (and your doctor friends will thank you)
• A tight-knit, ambitious team that’s moving fast and thinking long-term

React, tRPC, TypeScript, Tailwind, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL for full-stack web development. Python + Gurobi for complex scheduling optimization.
