About Cleary
Our platform powers a personalized and holistic Employee Experience from pre-boarding to your final day with the company. The founders were inspired by the internal tools employees used every day internally at Twitter, where they met after one of their previous startups was
acquired in 2016. We’re obsessed with figuring out how organizations can design a world-class Employee Experience and scale their culture through hypergrowth and beyond. We’re seeing great early traction – our customers are some of the most successful companies in Silicon Valley, including DoorDash,
Square, Flexport, Scale.ai, LendingHome, and many more!
We’re a remote-first company with a small team of 8 across 4 different time zones and 4 countries.
We bootstrapped the company for the first 18 months and have since raised a seed round of funding from Venture Capital firms and top tier angel investors including:
- Dick Costolo (Former CEO, Twitter)
- Adam Bain (Former COO, Twitter)
- George Hu (COO, Twilio)
- Ryan Peterson (CEO/Cofounder, Flexport)
- Emmett Nicholas (CTO/Cofounder, Airtable)
- Frederique Dame (Google Ventures)
- David Schellhase (General Counsel, Slack)
- Gokul Rajaram (Head of Caviar at DoorDash, Boardmember at Coinbase/Pinterest)
- Lee Linden (Quiet Capital, Founder of TapJoy and Karma)
- Andrew Miklas (Former CTO/Cofounder, PagerDuty)
- And many more…
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a talented Full-Stack Engineer to round out our early team. You understand the difference between solving hard computer science problems and writing highly maintainable code in a team setting, and are able to balance both of those with the trade-offs that come with the ability to move quickly and make a significant impact in an early stage startup.
You’ll get to work directly with our experienced entrepreneurial team, which includes three second-time founders with two prior exits. In this role you will wear multiple hats, reporting directly to the CTO, and will have an opportunity to take on a leadership position (if desired) as we scale.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and architect new systems, focusing on performance and scalability, while crafting a great UX.
- Work at all levels of the stack, from AWS/Rails/SQL to React/HTML/CSS.
- Take full ownership and responsibility for building, shipping, and maintaining core features, end to end.
- Collaborate with everyone in the company in a cross-functional setting, including the CEO and our Product Manager as we get ready to grow and scale.
Who You Are:
- A software engineering generalist with Ruby on Rails experience who cares deeply about user-centric product development.
- Have a deep knowledge of web technologies and web application architecture.
- Take a thoughtful approach to decision making; knowing when to move fast and when to do things right.
- Have strong product and design sensibilities, and enjoy perfecting the details that matter.
- You don’t stop writing code when it works, but instead ask yourself what you can do to make it better and more readable.
Requirements:
- 5+ years overall software engineering experience in web development.
- 2+ years Ruby on Rails experience.
- 2+ years react or vue experience
- An eye for design + strong product sense.
- Demonstrated ability to break down large projects into smaller pieces that add value incrementally, and make tradeoff decisions about effort vs scope.
Nice to Have:
- DevOps experience with AWS.
- Experience working in a startup.
- Experience working in a big company (our customers tend to be larger).
