Behind every shift is a human being. Healthcare runs on schedules that are built by hand, break on contact with reality, and quietly cost clinicians their personal lives. We are building the AI workforce operating system that fixes it.
YouShift started with a problem the founders watched up close: family members in medicine whose lives were being reorganised, week after week, by a schedule nobody had time to build properly. In healthcare, everyone pays for that. Clinicians lose personal time to changes nobody saw coming. Coordinators carry an invisible, thankless burden — collecting hundreds of preferences, building something fair, then watching it fall apart the moment it is published. Leaders approve incentive pay and locum cover with almost no visibility into what any of it actually costs. Labor is roughly 56% of what American hospitals spend, and it is managed with software that stores the schedule but does not build it.
We think that is worth fixing properly. YouShift is an AI workforce management and scheduling platform built for healthcare and built for complexity. Our agents build and rebalance schedules, hold the line on compliance and clinician preferences, plan capacity against demand, and show where labor spend is leaking. Today more than 1,000 clinicians schedule with us across the US and Europe. We are a team of 17, backed by Y Combinator and a $3.5M seed round led by Bain Capital Ventures, working from New York and Valencia. Scheduling is where we start with most customers. It is not where we stop.
We are an in-person team. New York is hybrid, four days a week in our Manhattan office, and we have a second home in Valencia. We are 17 people, which means the distance between noticing something and changing it is very short — there are no layers to route around.
We are candid when something is not working, and we would rather tell you the honest version early than the comfortable one. You will hear that in our job posts, in our interviews, and on your first week.
Hiring should be thoughtful, transparent, and respectful of your time. Our process runs in five steps: an introductory conversation with our team, a meeting with the hiring manager, a practical exercise reviewed together, a final conversation with the leadership team, and an offer.
We tell you where you stand at each stage, and why. If we are considering you at a different level than you applied for, we say so early rather than at the offer.
Medical cover for you, so the people building tools for clinicians are looked after too.
20 days of paid vacation plus company holidays. We mean it — this is a team that ships hard and then actually stops.
You work directly with the founders and leadership. Your judgment shows up in the product and the playbook within weeks, not quarters.
You own a function, not a task list. What you decide in your first six months will still be visible in how this company works three years from now.
People first. Behind every shift is a human being. Clinicians have lives, admins have limits, and when scheduling works, people thrive. Every decision we make gets tested against the person on the other end of the schedule.
Intelligent operations. Healthcare is too complex for old tools. We understand that complexity deeply enough to make it disappear — turning hours of chaos into minutes of clarity is the whole job.
Honest before comfortable. We tell customers, candidates, and each other the real version. We say what is not working yet, we do not oversell, and we would rather lose a deal than promise something we cannot deliver.
