Notable leadership hires: Chief of Staff
Nift helps businesses acquire and retain customers by rewarding user actions (purchases, reviews, signups) with curated gift discoveries. The platform runs a two-sided marketplace: consumers receive personalized gift recommendations from a network of thousands of brand partners, while acquiring businesses (payment platforms, travel sites, ecommerce) use Nift to drive loyalty and unlock referral revenue. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Boston, Nift is sized at 51–200 employees. Current hiring velocity is steady, with leadership gaps in data and sales roles, suggesting active scaling of go-to-market and analytics capability to support geographic expansion into EMEA and optimization of the underlying marketplace auction and revenue systems.
Nift's core stack includes Databricks, AWS (EKS, ECS, SageMaker), Python, MLflow for ML workflow, Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure, Docker and Kubernetes for containerization, plus Greenhouse for recruiting and Rippling for HR/payroll.
Nift is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and actively hiring in the United States and Israel, with steady velocity across senior and manager-level positions.
