Job description

Clearstory is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help lead the evolution of our frontend platform and customer experience. This is a high-impact role for an engineer who cares deeply about frontend architecture, product quality, and building systems that scale.

While this is a full stack role, the center of gravity is the frontend. You’ll help shape the technical direction of our React application, define frontend standards and architecture, and build the foundations that allow product teams to move quickly while maintaining a high bar for craftsmanship and reliability.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong frontend engineering expertise with product thinking and technical leadership. This is an individual contributor role with significant influence across the engineering organization. You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership, product, and design to shape both the user experience and the technical direction behind it.

Clearstory is an AI-forward engineering organization. We use modern AI tooling every day, not as a novelty, but as core leverage. You’ll have access to modern development workflows, strong engineering peers, and the opportunity to influence how engineering evolves as we scale.

We operate in a hybrid work model: 3 days per week in the office, with the option to work 2 days per week from home if desired. We value in-person collaboration while supporting flexibility.

As a Senior Software Engineer, You Will:

Lead frontend architecture and technical direction across our platform
Build and evolve scalable React and TypeScript application patterns
Drive improvements in frontend performance, maintainability, testing, and developer experience
Build full stack product features end-to-end
Partner closely with product and design to create polished, intuitive customer experiences
Help define engineering standards, architecture patterns, and frontend platform investments
Mentor and influence engineers through technical leadership, design reviews, and collaboration
Contribute to roadmap planning and technical strategy discussions
Help scale engineering systems and practices as the company grows
Move fast in a SOC 2–compliant environment using modern AI-assisted development workflows

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

Has deep expertise in modern frontend engineering and React application architecture
Cares deeply about product quality, usability, and frontend craftsmanship
Enjoys solving complex UI and application architecture problems
Operates with high ownership and strong engineering judgment
Communicates clearly and collaborates effectively across engineering, product, and design
Can lead through influence without needing formal management authority
Thrives in fast-moving startup environments with broad ownership and impact
Embodies our core values: Be Curious, Customer Obsession, and Keep It Simple

7+ years of professional software engineering experience
Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend application development
Experience designing and scaling frontend architectures for complex SaaS applications
Strong understanding of component systems, state management, frontend performance, and developer tooling
Full stack experience building production applications and APIs
Strong product instincts and customer empathy
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Experience leading large technical initiatives or platform-level improvements

Nice to Have

Experience building highly interactive SaaS applications
Experience with design systems or frontend platform engineering
Experience mentoring senior engineers and influencing engineering culture
Familiarity with AI-powered product experiences or AI-assisted development workflows
Experience with Golang, modern cloud infrastructure, or distributed systems
