Who We Are

We help hourly teams get shift done. 

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

Our feature teams consist of full-stack engineers, mobile engineers, QA analysts, QA automation engineers, designers and product managers. We work within sprints and release our SaaS application daily. We have fun at work while we challenge and support each other.

At When I Work, being full stack means an engineer is willing and able to contribute to all aspects of our tech stack.  We don't expect candidates to be experts across our tech stack.

  • Deliver new features, analyze, and react to the data we collect to make the product better
  • Contribute to 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.

  • You enjoy balancing both pragmatic and trailblazing solutions.
  • 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 are seeking a highly collaborative, innovative, & passionate work culture.

Experience and Skills Needed

  • 5+ years in professional frontend software development in team-focused environments.
  • Ability to produce quality code that is maintainable, performant, reliable, and secure
  • Strong development fundamentals across the full stack spectrum

  • Knowledge of database design and concepts (MySQL, NoSQL, ORM)
  • A working knowledge of agile development

Our Technology Soup

We use a lot of different technologies to get the job done, and each member of our team brings their own mix of technology experience.  We don’t expect you to be an expert in all components of our stack.  If you have strong fundamentals, familiarity with even a few of these technologies (or equivalents), and have a desire to grow in the others, you could make a valuable contribution:

We believe actions speak louder than words. Every encounter with our people and products should be memorable and helpful. Challenges are exciting, failure is how we learn, and we all have an entrepreneurial spirit. Building an inclusive and equitable workplace isn’t lip service. We invest our time and our money in organizations that are not only working to diversify the current jobscape, but also investing in the future of talent. We’re motivated by a strong, innovative, and passionate work culture and we’re constantly searching for ways to improve and get shift done.

Whether you’re a perfect match or not, if it sounds like a good fit, we encourage you to apply.

Are you hesitant to submit an application because you're not sure if you check every box? Apply anyway! We would love to hear from you and figure out what you can add to the culture here at When I Work.  

We’d love to talk to you! Please submit the following to apply:
