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
