About Clear Street:
Clear Street is modernising the brokerage ecosystem. Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets.
We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today’s complex, global market. Clear Street’s proprietary prime brokerage platform adds significant efficiency to the market, while focusing on minimising risk, redundancy, and cost for clients. Our goal is to create a single source-of-truth platform for every asset class, in every country, and in any currency.
By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we are building the essentials to compete in today’s fast-paced markets.

- You have 7+ years of professional experience building web applications with React and TypeScript.

- You put the end user first, which is reflected in the way you design APIs, as well as in your features’ functionality and performance.
- You have a solid grasp of design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
- You communicate technical concepts clearly and enjoy collaborating with others to ship high-quality products.
- Your experience enables you to mentor teammates, help define engineering best practices, and promote a systems-design mindset when creating new services.

Working together, we have built a platform that serves institutional clients and is at the forefront of technological innovation. Our engineers take pride in not just the value we provide our customers but the quality of our work. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, and make a meaningful impact on the financial industry.
