We’re seeking foundational teammates who are passionate about customer acquisition, conversion optimization and retention as we build out our growth team.
Why work with us?
Our team is small but mighty - we've founded, scaled and sold companies before; this time we’re looking to build something meaningful for ourselves.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious person looking to make an impact in an early company while getting exposure to financial technology and learn what it takes to build a successful startup.
What you will be doing
Clearbanc builds, ships and maintains many products. Among them are:
- Credit models
- Systems for sending and receiving payments
- Accounting systems
- Data-visualization and business intelligence products, both internal and customer-facing
- Systems for onboarding customers
- Integrations with a great many data sources
The engineering team is small team within a small company, so all members work on all of the above as dictated by business needs. All members of the team interpolate as needed between the tasks of product definition, design and development, QA and deployment.
Our software is delivered over the web and depends on interacting with a great variety of web services. The list of technologies we use is long, with the significant ones being:
- Ruby on Rails (and therefore Ruby and a great many gems)
- Vue.js (and therefore html, css, javascript, and a great many node modules)
- Postgres (and therefore SQL)
- Amazon Web Services
Experience with our particular tool-belt is not necessary but the ability to adapt to it quickly is.
