Who We Are

At Shift Systems we think about security all day long but we’re not all buttoned up about it. First and foremost, we focus on solving challenging authentication, identity and computing problems with a persistent awareness of the changing threat landscape. Consistent with our multiple definitions of what it means to be a successful company, we strive to build a comfortable and engaging work environment. For example, when we consider success for individuals, we envision our development and execution team as a “James Bond-esque Q-Division” for production systems. Our people are not defined by the title they hold, rather we provide a space where team members participate in both thinking and doing across a wide spectrum of roles. Further, we encourage individuals to grow and maximize their strengths, while applying them to new areas of expertise for personal and professional development. Shift’s culture is both highly professional and social. Many team members share common interests and we encourage infusing such passions into the workplace, whether in the office or out on the town. Some of the work we do is still in an emerging market, while other parts are in more mature markets and have proven customer benefit. Regardless, sometimes the change required to overcome inertia of the status quo is difficult medicine to take. Our culture embraces the challenges to be an industry leader and trusted partner with our customers. This combination of technical proficiency and a personal approach is the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down.

What We Do

The work we do requires a balanced set of skills from our team. Shift’s operations teams represent the front-line in our personal approach to customers. Using their broad base of executional and transactional skills, and their varied levels of client engagement experience, they deliver a streamlined process and a comfortable outcome. Our development teams leverage subject matter expertise in software and network security, cryptography, cloud services and big data problems. They build and deliver mission-critical solutions. Together, our teams deftly meet customer demands for enterprise-level quality and security, while maintaining a consumer-style focus on products that engage the individual end-user. This effectively enables us to balance form and function in order to provide a superior user experience without compromising enterprise-level expectations. All of this is done in teams whose members have the ability to work autonomously, in self-directed pairs, or in a collaborative group environment.

Who We Want

Members of the Shift team are smart and talented. Our employees are driven by the purpose and meaning of their work, just as much as their recognition and compensation. They share multiple areas of expertise, a passion for solving real-world problems, a curiosity for innovation and a drive to succeed. They care about solving difficult but interesting problems that are seen by people who matter. They believe that the value of their work extends beyond financial or performance metrics, and understand the value of doing well by “doing good”. Great team members have an innate drive to continually learn, grow and expand their horizons. They are multi-talented and adaptable, capable of being good leaders as well as good followers. Shift aggressively needs software engineers and managers, security professionals, account managers and client facing support staff. We have a strong preference for people with multi-faceted skill sets and will consider the value of all applicants as potential additions to the team.

Shift is a smart and dynamic company looking to strategically add talent while remaining nimble. If this environment sounds like one for you, we'd love to hear from you.
