Job description

• Product & Design is Clutch's creative engine
• We solve some of the hardest problems in the business: improving the customer experience, building internal tools that power our operations, running growth experiments, connecting systems and data, and finding better ways to buy, sell, and move cars
• The way we build products has changed significantly
• Using Ignition, our platform for agentic engineering, individuals can now work across parts of the product-development process that traditionally required several specialized roles. A project that once involved a large team for months can increasingly be owned by one or two people and shipped in days
• We call those people builders
• A builder can move from understanding a business problem to shaping a solution, designing the experience, building it, testing it against realistic data, putting it in front of users, and iterating based on what they learn
• This role is for someone excited by the fact that the boundaries between product, design, and engineering are becoming increasingly blurry
• Own important product problems end-to-end, from understanding the business and user problem through building and shipping the solution
• Immerse yourself in Clutch's operations, customers, systems, processes, and data to understand how things actually work
• Challenge requests and assumptions to make sure we're solving the right problem rather than simply building what was asked for
• Shape product solutions and design elegant, intuitive experiences users enjoy using
• Use AI and agentic development tools to build working products across the front end and back end
• Work with APIs, business logic, data, and existing Clutch systems to turn ideas into functioning software
• Put working products in front of stakeholders and users early rather than relying solely on specs, mockups, or prototypes
• Test against realistic scenarios and data to uncover edge cases before launch
• Ship quickly, learn from real usage, and continuously improve what you've built
• Run experiments and measure whether your work is actually solving the problem
• Work directly with operators, designers, engineers, marketers, and other specialists when their expertise improves the outcome
• Improve our product-development practices as the tools and capabilities available to builders continue to evolve

Benefits

• Autonomy & ownership: Create your own path and own your work with some of the most talented and creative people in Canada
• Competitive pay + equity: Enjoy competitive pay from day one, with equity opportunities available for roles that shape our future
• Generous time off: From vacation time to parental leave, we believe that work-life harmony is key to a healthy work environment
• Health, dental & more: Your well-being matters. That's why we offer medical, dental, and wellness support to you and your loved ones

• Curiosity about users and a willingness to spend time understanding how they actually work
• 4+ years of experience building digital products in product design, product management, software engineering, or a similarly hands-on product role
• Bias toward shipping, testing, learning, and iterating
• Strong UX instincts and a high bar for making products intuitive and enjoyable to use
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technical or business domains quickly
• Strong product sense - you think about the product and business as a whole rather than as a collection of features or screens
• Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into thoughtful, practical solutions
• Willingness to work outside the traditional boundaries of your discipline
• You do not need to be an expert designer, product manager, and software engineer at the same time.
• You do need to be willing and able to move beyond your existing specialty when the problem requires it
• Comfort using AI-assisted or agentic tools to build software, or a strong desire to become highly proficient with them
• Experience at a startup, either as an early employee or founder
• Evidence of having taught yourself skills outside your formal discipline
• Ability to work on multiple projects in parallel and prioritize based on business impact
• Experience building internal tools or software for operationally complex businesses
• Experience with experimentation, A/B testing, analytics, or product-led growth
• Comfort working with APIs, data, and unfamiliar systems
• Experience building with modern AI coding or agentic development tools
• Experience working directly with engineers or contributing to production code
• Experience owning products from problem discovery through launch and iteration
