Who We Are

We help hourly teams get shift done.

At When I Work, everything we do starts with a mission to help hourly teams work better together. We deliver on that mission by making hourly workforce management - scheduling, time tracking, shift trading, team messaging, and more - easy and straightforward for managers and employees alike.

Our feature team consists of full-stack, mobile, and automation engineers, QA analysts, and designers. We work within sprints and release daily. We have fun at work while we challenge and support each other in a highly functional environment.

Deliver new features, analyze, and react to the data we collect to make the product better
Lead a dynamic team through the design and development of new features and investigation of tricky issues
Navigate trade-offs creatively by optimizing for value we can deliver today iterating on it tomorrow
Help our existing and new features scale as we drastically increase our customer base
Work first-hand on everything from a beautiful UI to complex server-side applications, database architecture, our REST API, and microservices
Mentor teammates to aid in their development and areas of ownership

Who You Are

You thrive in a team-based environment. You enjoy learning new frameworks and technologies, and working within constraints to build an awesome user experience for our customers. You work quickly and efficiently without compromising user experience and are ready to cycle through the think-> build -> implement phases in a fast iterative manner. You enjoy balancing both pragmatic and trailblazing solutions.

If you have familiarity with even a few of these (or equivalents), you could make a valuable contribution: Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, React, Gitlab, MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, Kubernetes, Kafka, lots of AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, Kinesis).
