United States onlyAbout Us
Life is better when you’re with friends.
Our product studio was founded on this belief. Each day we get to wake up and invent new products that help us deepen friendships and make new ones – products we want to use with our friends. We are backed by a16z and dozens of the best angel investors in the world, and we have years of runway, which allows us to stay heads down and aim big. Our first product, Clubhouse, has become a home for millions of people around the world – who use it to meet new friends, have fun and join amazing conversations throughout the day. We expect that our next products will use AI to bring friends together in ways never before possible.
If you are a talented builder who’s interested in joining us, we’d love to talk.
The Role
You will focus on the live app that's in production today and the roadmap for the team is to enhance the live app functionality to bring in more users.
As a member of our engineering team, you’ll work closely with our founders, product, design, and data teams to solve a dynamic set of user problems and build robust, user-facing features to increase friendship in the world.
We are a remote friendly-company — with our headquarters in San Francisco and a strong commitment to ensuring people can do great work here and thrive without having to live near an office. This role is open to candidates across the U.S
Who you are
- You are experienced. You have great energy. You are a seasoned software engineer with 5+ years of experience, a strong command of relevant programming languages such as Python and Java, experience with storage systems like PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, and a proven track record of designing and implementing performant backend systems at scale. You have demonstrated capabilities to innovate and optimize at the same level. You have led all phases of development including ideation, product specification, prototyping, designing and implementation. This role has a mix of hands-on work as well as lead and architecture work.
- You act like an owner. You are proactive, resourceful, and enjoy highly autonomous environments. You enjoy owning the technical implementation and architecture of the feature set owned by your team working cross-functionally and with your team to convert product visions into technical solutions, strategies, and roadmaps. You work independently and understand how to efficiently prioritize and utilize your team to meet company goals.
- You’re a strong communicator. You’re a strong written and verbal communicator; you can capture the essence of complex situations quickly and communicate them to technical and non-technical partners.
- You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You like to build and ship and have a bias towards getting things done. You thrive in fast paced environments and view ambiguity as an opportunity to lead Clubhouse closer to its mission.
- You take pride in your work. You are committed to your craft and write high-quality code while shipping the best possible user experience. You obsess over the details and are excited about creating products that leave a lasting impression.
- You are a team player. You have a low-ego, put the team’s success first, and believe that fostering a collaborative and diverse environment is not only integral to the team's well-being but also crucial for driving innovation and achieving long-term success.
What you will do
- You’ll build and ship. You’ll build new services to meet critical product and business needs in a scalable and performant way. You are expected to lead by example by producing high quality work following best practices in quick timelines to improve our infrastructure and tooling and have the benefit of working with others who share your enthusiasm.
- You’ll work collaboratively. You’ll work closely with a talented group of engineers, product managers, designers, and data scientists to understand user problems and co-create product solutions. You’ll also work closely with leadership to convert technical and product visions into tangible roadmaps.
- You’ll grow, teach, and improve rapidly. At Clubhouse you’ll be working with an incredible team, who love to learn from and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, and growing your skills on a daily basis.
- You’ll create something meaningful. Social products allow people to connect in ways that were never before possible. When the telephone was invented, it suddenly allowed people to speak with others across the world. Thanks to FaceTime, grandparents everywhere can now watch their grandchildren grow up. At Clubhouse, you’ll be figuring out something entirely new for the world—a positive product that brings people’s voices together to help everyone have a life filled with great friendships.
What you can expect
As a member of our team, you can choose to work in person – at our beautiful, creative HQ in San Francisco – or fully remote. You can expect competitive base pay (currently $200,000 - $245,000 for this role), meaningful ownership in the company, great benefits, and constant advancement opportunities.
More importantly, we will invest deeply in your development and work every day to ensure it is the best professional experience of your life.
