We're on a mission to improve the world of work, one shift at a time for 80% of the world’s workforce
The Role
Deputy is a global SaaS remote-first workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and recently achieved Unicorn status. 

At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.

If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!

You will collaborate closely with peers, product, design, and leadership to build outstanding products and features for the Deputy platform, delivering services to millions of users and businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations.

You wake up every morning with the confidence that your work, from user-facing experiences to backend APIs, powers and improves the livelihood of millions of users worldwide.
