Engineering @ Shift
At Shift, we empower engineers to solve high-impact problems that drive our business. Our platform serves both customers and our operational team, providing a plethora of engineering challenges.
Simple is anything but easy…
Marketplace & consumer products
Buying and selling a car are complex transactions with many moving parts.
We’re building a frictionless experience with asynchronous in-app communication, instant financing, and personalized features.
Logistics platforms
It’s a classic computer science problem: how can we create the optimal schedule for drivers AND customers
given thousands of inputs? Our proprietary scheduling system is solving these problems at scale.
Pricing engine
Because no two cars are the same, pricing is a huge algorithmic challenge that’s at the core of our business.
We use machine learning to accurately price vehicles while accounting for fluctuations in demand, availability, and
local-market conditions.
Meet the Team
Our mission to transform the experience of buying and selling cars is an ambitious one. It can only be achieved by a team of diverse problem solvers dedicated to understanding our varied customers.
“Shift is so collaborative. It’s great getting to work with smart people every day. And, as an engineer, I love getting to see how my work directly impacts our customers and our Concierges.”
– Mikey, Engineering Manager
