Note that shift.com describes an unrelated browser company, so research this employer through its postings.

If you're selling or recruiting: Eight roles opened in the last 30 days and two closed; Engineering (4) and Customer Support Operations (3) hold the most open roles. Caution: shift.com is Shift Browser, a Canadian browser company, not this Australian SME finance employer. Confirm the correct entity and domain before outreach.
