Software Engineer
Original posting
Shift – Software Engineer – San Francisco, Castro district – FULL TIME or INTERN – VISA welcome
Shift is looking for engineers who have strong product sense and are passionate about technology and user experience. This includes full-stack, frontend, backend, and mobile engineers. Join our team, come in at the ground level, and shape a product with great potential to transform an enormous market!
So far, we are using HTML5, iOS, Android, Go, App Engine, and AWS. Our founders were part of Google and Dropbox and are building an engineering-led culture.
Cars are the largest retail vertical in the US – consumers buy almost 50 million new and used cars every year, totaling $1 trillion in value. Yet technology has barely touched the market; Americans buy cars in the same, burdensome ways they did decades ago. Selling a car means either letting the dealer collect a huge margin in a trade-in, or significant hassle selling to a private party. Our goal is to create a delightful experience for every person buying and selling a car, similar to Tesla’s customer service.
Shift is well-funded, has strong partnerships with key strategic players across the value chain, and has done dozens of sales in San Francisco. We are lean and hypothesis-driven, led by engineering and design. We work hard together, have fun together, and our culture is healthy and respectful.
