[Hiring] Founding Full-Stack Software Engineer @Clipbook

Role Description

You'd be one of the first engineers at Clipbook — joining a small but mighty engineering team with engineers from Meta, Stripe, and AWS. You'll have real influence over architecture and technical direction, and what you build will ship to 200+ customers quickly.

What You'll Do

• Architect & build across the stack.
• Make architectural decisions and implement solutions across the stack (Next.js, TypeScript, React, Python, Node, SQL/NoSQL).
• Collaborate with customers.
• Work directly with users to understand pain points, join calls, hear what's working and what isn't, and rapidly iterate to deliver solutions that matter.
• Tackle a wide breadth of engineering challenges.
• AI/ML Integration: Productionize LLMs and classical ML models for real-world, high-uptime applications — including prompt execution, embeddings, RAG pipelines, and agentic systems.
• Data Engineering: Build pipelines and infrastructure for ingesting, normalizing, and querying massive, multi-modal datasets (text, audio, video).
• Shape Clipbook's engineering culture.
• Influence everything — code quality, system design principles, documentation standards, testing, deployment, and how we build as a team.
• Mentor future hires and drive best practices.

Qualifications

• 2–10+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies.
• Proficiency with web technologies (Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, etc.).
• Genuine excitement to build quickly & ship fast.
• Deep knowledge and practical experience with cloud-based services, containerization, and API development.
• Experience optimizing data architectures for performance and cost.
• Strong product sense and bias for action.
• A future leader who can help shape our engineering culture.

Requirements

• You take ownership. When something is broken or unclear, you fix it or flag it without waiting to be asked.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You make reasonable calls with incomplete information, communicate them clearly, and adjust as you learn more.

Benefits

• Salary: $150K–$220K
• Equity: Early-stage grant with significant upside
• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k), unlimited PTO
• Growth: A clear path to engineering leadership as we scale
