We are obsessed with speed, scalability, security, and improving the developer experience for the whole team.

  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in JavaScript (Node, React, vanilla JS) or another general-purpose programming language with the ability to quickly learn.
  • Communication Skills: Excellent written communication skills and a design-minded consideration of abstractions.
  • Big Picture Thinking: Ability to think about all aspects of the product, keeping UX and business objectives in mind.

Nice To Haves

  • Diversity of Perspectives: We value curiosity and open-mindedness.
  • Experience with Systems & Data at Scale: Experience with large-scale high-performance data pipelines, event ingestion systems, or larger production systems.
  • Additional Proficiency: Experience with Linux, containers, cloud environments (AWS, Google Cloud), Kafka, Pubsub, SQS, and languages like Go, Rust, C++, or Clojure.

Working @ Clay

  • Location: Based out of a central office on 19th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron District, with the flexibility to work from home when needed.
  • Compensation: Competitive salary and role trajectory. Roles, responsibilities, and compensation grow as we do.
  • Benefits: Fully funded, high-quality health, dental & vision coverage, visa sponsorship, flexible schedules, and paid time off. We encourage team members to take at least 3 weeks fully-disconnected per year.
  • Mental Health: We are building a plan to help you find coaches, mentors, and mental-health services.
  • Personal Comfort: Order whatever equipment you think will help you work more enjoyably.

Join us at Clay and be part of a team that values creativity, discipline, and attention to detail. We are committed to building a diverse team that reflects our beliefs and cannot wait to speak with you.
