Healthcare runs on people — but the systems that manage them are outdated.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.

* Care about reliability, observability, and measurable outcomes.
* Comfortable working in ambiguous 0→1 environments.

### What it’s like to join the team
