We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to help shape the future of our engineering organization. As a senior technical leader, you’ll design and guide complex systems, mentor teams, and drive key architectural decisions that enable Clearco to scale. This is a high-impact role suited for a builder who thrives on solving deep technical challenges and who is passionate about enabling others to succeed. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally, influence strategy, and ensure our systems are secure, performant, and designed for growth.

What You’ll Do

Architect, Build, and Scale Systems

  • Lead design and implementation of core systems that are critical to Clearco’s growth and customer impact
  • Define and uphold architectural patterns that balance scalability, maintainability, and delivery speed
  • Evaluate and adopt new technologies where they improve business or developer outcomes

Drive Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Partner with engineering leads, product managers, and stakeholders to shape product direction
  • Break down complex technical problems and help cross-functional teams deliver cohesive solutions
  • Foster alignment on engineering best practices across teams

Lead Through Influence

  • Act as a force multiplier: mentor engineers, drive technical excellence, and lead design reviews
  • Set high standards for code quality, system resilience, and security
  • Influence engineering culture through thought leadership and hands-on guidance

Own the End-to-End Lifecycle

  • Champion CI/CD, observability, and operational readiness
  • Drive incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term fixes for reliability
  • Take ownership of platform performance, cost efficiency, and technical debt management

What We’re Looking For

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Expertise designing and building scalable distributed systems and backend services
  • Deep understanding of API design, data modeling, and systems architecture
  • Strong coding abilities in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or equivalent
  • Proficiency with SQL and/or NoSQL databases
  • Experience working in cloud environments (preferably GCP)
  • Effective communicator with experience influencing technical direction at the organizational level

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience leading technical strategy or major platform migrations
  • Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, GCP
  • Knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD tooling, and infrastructure-as-code
  • A security-first mindset and familiarity with modern authentication, encryption, and secure-by-design principles

Why Join Us?

  • Solve real-world problems with fintech products that help thousands of founders
  • Join a high-performance culture that values autonomy, trust, and continuous learning
  • Contribute at both the strategic and hands-on level
  • Help build and evolve a strong engineering organization, not just code
