About Clay

Our mission is to help organizations turn any growth idea into reality.

We see growth as a creative practice not a formula. Finding and reaching your best-fit customers takes unique ideas and constant iteration. As AI makes execution faster and tactics easier to copy creativity is the only lasting advantage. Were already helping thousands of customers including Anthropic Notion Google and Ramp go to market with unique data signals and AI research.

In 2025 we raised a $100M Series C backed by world-class investors including Sequoia CapitalG and First Round and crossed $100M in revenue.

In 2026 we announced our second employee tender offer in 9 months at a new $5B valuation. We also launched a community equity round for our customers agency partners and club members.

Some things to know about us:

• Our community includes 11000 customers 150 integration partners 125 agencies 50 Clay clubs and 30k members on Slack.

• Our culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs activists writers clowns marathoners skydivers psychedelic therapists social workers and more.

• All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity management and more.

• Our operating principles including negative maintenance and non-attached action guide our work. Read more about them here.

The Role

Clays engineering team and codebase are growing quickly and require continued investment in tooling and infrastructure to operate effectively.

In particular as coding agents continue to advance the hardest challenges in engineering arent writing the code itselftheyre everything around it: context environment validation testing and safely integrating changes into real production systems.

At Clay we believe the next evolution of software engineering will come from building systems where coding agents can operate with deep awareness of the codebase infrastructure and development lifecycle.

That requires a major investment in developer experience and engineering infrastructure.

Were expanding our infrastructure team to build the systems that make this possible environments where agents can understand the full context of a codebase execute development tasks end-to-end and safely integrate their work into production.

While coding agents will be an important area to focus on this role spans developer tooling infrastructure and agent execution systems and the systems you build will shape how software gets built at Clay.

What Youll Work On

Youll help design and build the developer experience that powers the next generation of software engineering at Clay.

This includes systems that make both engineers and coding agents dramatically more effective across the full development lifecycle.

Areas you might work on include:

• Monorepo organization orchestration and tooling

• CI/CD pipelines including evaluation and validation of agent-generated changes

• Cloud dev environment exploration

• Expose rich codebase context to coding agents enabling multiple agents running and parallel and supporting automated refactors migrations and bug fixing

• Setup metrics and dashboards organize forums - and any other venue to keep a pulse on how the engineering team is doing and how they can further be assisted

Our goal is to build the infrastructure harness that allows Clay to fully leverage the latest AI Advancements.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means:

• Clay engineers can move faster with less friction

• Coding agents can operate with deep context and make meaningful changes safely

• Our development environment adapts quickly as new AI capabilities emerge

• Engineering productivity compounds as more of the software lifecycle becomes automated

• Developing a relationship with the engineering team and creating a collaborative environment to resolve friction points

What Were Looking For

Were looking for strong engineers who enjoy building systems that improve how software gets built.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have experience building developer tooling infrastructure or internal platforms

• Care deeply about developer experience and engineering productivity including removing obstacles to productivity

• Enjoy designing systems that automate complex workflows

• Are excited about how AI will transform the software development lifecycle

• Write clean maintainable code and enjoy owning systems end-to-end

You dont need prior experience building AI systems curiosity and experimentation matter more.

Why This Role Is Unique

Software engineering is changing quickly.

AI models can generate code but making that code useful in real production environments requires deep integration with developer workflows infrastructure and codebase context.

At Clay were investing heavily in building the systems that make that possible.

Youll be working on infrastructure that sits at the center of how software gets built and helping define how engineering evolves in the age of AI.
