[Hiring] Full-Stack Engineer @Clerkie

Role Description

We’re looking for a Full-Stack engineer who wants to build, own, and ship end-to-end product experiences in a fast-moving environment. This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working across the stack - from backend systems to user-facing applications - and is ready to take meaningful ownership of features and systems.

At Clerkie, engineers don’t just implement specs. You’ll collaborate closely with product and design, contribute to technical decisions, and help shape how features come to life from concept through production. Because we’re still early, this role goes beyond execution. You’ll play a key role in how we build - contributing to system design, product development, and the overall evolution of our platform.

Here’s what you’ll do

• Build and maintain full-stack features across backend services and user-facing applications
• Own features end-to-end - from design and implementation through production
• Contribute to system reliability, performance, and scalability
• Participate in technical design discussions and architecture decisions
• Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver high-quality user experiences
• Improve visibility into system health and performance
• Contribute to internal engineering practices, tooling, and documentation

Here’s a snapshot of what the Engineer team tackled recently

• Scaled backend systems to support growing enterprise usage
• Built new infrastructure to support partner integrations
• Improved system observability and production reliability
• Supported high-priority product initiatives tied to revenue growth
• Collaborated closely with leadership on technical direction and tradeoffs
• Refined how we build, ship, and maintain systems
• Helped clean up and organize Coda, our internal knowledge hub, to make life easier for future new hires (like you!)
• Onboarded a new teammate to the Engineering team and updated internal rituals to set them up for success
• Spent the day on a private ranch in Jackson Hole horseback riding, axe throwing, eating outside a Michelin Star chef's table, roasting smores under the stars, and celebrating your latest hackathon win
• And more! From big wins to team traditions, it’s been a big year so far and we’re just getting started 😎

Qualifications

• Experience building and shipping full-stack applications in production
• Strong fundamentals in backend development and system design
• Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (Node.js and modern frontend frameworks)
• Experience working with databases (NoSQL experience is a plus)
• Ability to own features end-to-end and operate independently
• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment

Requirements

• Previous Full-Stack or software engineering experience
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
• Experience working on data-intensive or complex applications
• Familiarity with fintech or regulated environments
• Experience in early-stage or high-growth startups
• Curiosity about financial wellness and mission-driven technology

Benefits

• 💰 Salary range: $90-150k
• 💼 Equity
• 💻 Remote-first role (US only)
• 🧘 Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 📈 401(k) + retirement benefits
• 🌴 Paid time off + annual company retreat
• 💻 Company laptop + home office stipend
• 💙 Collaborative, values-driven culture
