About the Position
Shyft is looking for a highly motivated backend engineering generalist to join our ranks and own the next generation of our video survey SaaS product.
Shyft’s video survey SaaS product allows Relocation Management Company clients, as well as Shyft’s internal team of Move Coaches, to schedule and conduct live video interviews with relocatees. In turn, Shyft generates inventories of their household goods and then sources fair and accurate quotes from moving companies when it’s time to move. These inventories are then routed through internal (and external) quoting teams and end up in our proprietary moving company marketplace. Several Shyft apps hook into this process to empower relocatees to access Shyft’s product “self serve” through the App Store, Google Play, and directly from the web.
We need a backend generalist who is able to proactively solve and deploy transformational changes to our SaaS products. Success is defined as being able to proactively imagine and execute a modular, extensible project structure while ensuring that day to day live operations of the products are not adversely affected.
This role reports to the Director of Engineering.
