The role
ShiftKey is the market leader in workforce technology, but to scale further, we need to evolve how we connect with the outside world. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own our "translation layer" - the middleware that allows ShiftKey to talk to the complex, external scheduling and workforce systems our clients use.
This is not a maintenance role, and it is not for "order takers". You will be responsible for moving us away from building costly, one-off custom connections and toward a scalable, universal integration ecosystem. You will sit at the intersection of ambitious revenue goals and strict technical scalability.
You will own the roadmap for our middleware platform, deciding not just how to build an integration, but if we should build it at all. You will work with a dedicated engineering team to design APIs and map data flows, while simultaneously partnering with Sales to ensure our integrations actually drive revenue.
Where you’ll work
This is a fully remote role within the U.S. We prefer candidates located in the Central or Eastern time zones to ensure strong alignment and real-time collaboration with our core internal teams.
What you’ll be doing
Drive scalable, API-first solutions by setting clear boundaries against bespoke, one-off customization requests from Sales or Partners to protect the long-term health of the platform.
Lead the strategy for our middleware (SAMI), ensuring our marketplace can seamlessly exchange data with external healthcare workforce systems, payroll providers, and future BI tools.
Turn complex business needs into clear technical execution, including designing API specs, mapping data fields, and defining error handling alongside your dedicated engineering team.
Track the success of every integration you ship by defining metrics for adoption and retention, ensuring the pipes you build are actually used by customers rather than just marked as "done".
Maintain a strategic view of the HR tech landscape to identify which integration categories will give us a competitive advantage and which are distractions.
What you’ll need
5+ years of Product Management experience, specifically within B2B SaaS, Marketplaces, or Platform products.
Deep comfort reading and writing API specifications, using tools like Postman, and debating architecture trade-offs with engineers (coding is not required, but fluency is).
A track record of managing trade-offs between speed-to-market and platform stability, including the ability to describe a time you chose not to build a feature because it didn't scale.
Direct experience with external partners or clients, specifically troubleshooting integrations, managing breaking changes, and navigating technical limitations in a live environment.
A focus on revenue and adoption, allowing you to explain exactly how your past integrations impacted the bottom line rather than just how many tickets you completed.
