The workforce management industry is broken. Nearly every tool on the market is a nightmare to use, impossible to learn, and expensive to implement — and worst of all, they all fail to focus on the end-user. At When I Work, we’re doing something different. We’re building products for the end-user, not the decision maker. We’re creating transformative, simple scheduling and attendance products that help hourly employees and managers work better together. We spend every day doting over how technology can empower the hourly workforce like nothing the world has ever seen. Our ultimate mission is to help people spend less time working and more time living. We need your help.

You can discuss the various merits of different frameworks, architectures and tools. You have experience picking the ones that work best for a team that moves fast (i.e. we deploy code multiple times a day).
