Job description

About Clerkie

Clerkie is a fintech startup on a mission to democratize financial wellness using the power of artificial intelligence. Launched in 2018, Clerkie began with an app, aiming to help the nearly 123 million underserved Americans in need of financial guidance. Since its inception, the company has expanded its services and now pairs consumer guidance with cutting‑edge B2B software. By pairing the two through the Clerkie network, these tools have become the go‑to resource for creditors looking to manage loan losses while simultaneously helping millions of borrowers get out of debt. Clerkie is a remote‑first company, with over 40 employees spanning 4 time zones across the United States.

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

Recent Team Work

• 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
• Onboarded a new teammate to the Engineering team and updated internal rituals to set them up for success

Must‑haves

• 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

Nice‑to‑haves (but not required)

• 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

What we value

• Strong ownership mindset – you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
• Bias for action – you move quickly and make thoughtful decisions
• Customer‑first thinking – you care about the real‑world impact of what you build
• Resilience and adaptability – you can navigate ambiguity and evolving priorities
• Desire to build something meaningful and long‑lasting

Salary & benefits

• Salary range: $120‑150k
• 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

All applicants must successfully complete a standard background check and reference check. Candidates must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States. We are unable to sponsor work visas at this time.
