About YouShift

Healthcare runs on people — but the systems that manage them are outdated. At YouShift, we’re building the AI-powered workforce OS for healthcare teams. Our platform replaces spreadsheets and fragmented legacy tools with an intelligent scheduling engine managed by AI agents that handles complex rules, compliance, and real-world operational constraints at scale.

Our investors include Y Combinator (YC) and Bain Capital Ventures—partners who believe in our mission to redefine how hospitals operate. We’re channeling this investment into building a world-class team: people with relentless drive, sharp problem-solving skills, and the passion to push limits in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment. If this resonates, you belong at YouShift.

The Role

We’re looking for an AI Engineer to own and expand the AI agent layer of our platform. This is not a research role, but rather a product engineering one focused on turning real-world operational workflows into agentic, automated systems.

You’ll Design And Implement AI-powered Workflows That

Automate complex scheduling decisions
Translate natural-language inputs into structured actions
Detect anomalies and suggest corrective actions
Assist operators in real-time

You’ll work closely with product and full-stack engineers to bring these systems into production, reliably and safely, in a high-stakes healthcare environment.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement agentic workflows inside a production SaaS platform.
Develop guardrails evaluation and testing frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

2+ years building production software (or equivalent experience).
Experience deploying AI agents in production environments.
Strong TypeScript or Python fundamentals.
Care about reliability, observability, and measurable outcomes.
Comfortable working in ambiguous 0→1 environments.

What It’s Like To Join The Team

Small team, high ownership and autonomy.
We move fast, work long hours, and ship often.
You’ll design systems from scratch and see them in production quickly.
Real customers and real impact.

If you’re excited about building deep systems that handle real-world complexity — and taking responsibility for the full lifecycle of what you ship — we’d love to talk.

About the Company

YouShift is a next-generation workforce management platform built for healthcare. We automate complex, multi-site scheduling by balancing operational constraints, clinician preferences, and compliance, giving organizations centralized control and visibility for optimal staffing decisions. We eliminate manual admin work, improve clinician work-life balance, and help teams staff smarter at scale. Know more
