Team Mission: The mission of our Product team is to build best-in-class experiences that drive key business outcomes for Shiftsmart.

This role sits at the intersection of product development, customer feedback, and analytics, helping ensure that what we build fully meets the needs of enterprise customers and frontline store operators. While prior product experience is not required, this role is an excellent opportunity for an analytically-minded operator who enjoys diving deep into details, understanding how systems work end-to-end, and improving products through structured analysis and customer insight. Your work will directly impact how national brands like Walmart, PepsiCo, Google, and Circle K operate their stores. This role is based in New York City (HQ) with typically 3+ days in office
