Senior Software Engineer, Product

Hey there.
At Clay, we believe in empowering the growth of every business. We're on a mission to help teams grow their customer base by finding and reaching out to the right people.
Navigating the world of go-to-market data is a complex task involving data aggregation, transformation, and automation. We believe better software enables teams to become more effective in creatively seeking and reaching out to the people that matter. We are building a new type of data workflow tool that allows any team to find the right data, craft custom workflows, and automate their go-to-market strategy. We like to think of Clay as a composable canvas that unlocks power and creativity for growth-focused teams.
Building a powerful yet easy-to-use tool that enables complex data aggregation, transformation, and automation is no easy feat. It takes a huge amount of creativity, discipline and attention to detail. It also takes a team of brilliant minds, collaborating, supporting and learning from each other.
At Clay, we hold two things to be true as we grow our team - hiring is more about the person and less about the description; diverse teams build the strongest, most meaningful products. We are committed to building a team that reflects these beliefs, and cannot wait to speak with you.
Software Engineering, Outbound @ Clay
At Clay, our Outbound Team is focused on creating the best end-end outbound prospecting experience. This team owns the experience of building a campaign which means finding companies, people and then writing a tailored AI message to them. They are also responsible for creating experiments to see what audience and messages resonate. You can think of this as one of the use-case teams built on top of the data and infra teams work. This team collaborates closely with designers, data scientists, and customers, to build the best way to reach new customers.
As an early engineer, you'll be part of a core team that's reimagining computing from the ground up surrounded by an exceptional team of product-minded designers and developers. There will be no shortage of fun conceptual and technical challenges to explore, build and scale.

• Design & ship core features. Spec, implement and maintain core features and infrastructure. Given the size of the team, everyone is touching all parts of the stack and has lots of responsibility.
• Collaborate & learn. You'll partner with the rest of our team, communicate openly, give and receive thoughtful feedback, and have a chance to learn from people who excel in their areas of expertise.
• Take ownership. We're focused on building a high-trust, ownership focused environment where everyone aims to define what they think is most important to work on, and drive initiatives forward.

• You've got a Bachelors or Master's degree in Computer Science, or 4+ years working as a software engineer in production environments.
• Our stack is currently Node, and React. We hope you will be proficient in JavaScript (Node, React, vanilla JS), or have a demonstrated knowledge of another general purpose programming language and the ability to quickly learn.
• A big part of simplifying software development is choosing the right abstractions & communicating them effectively. In this role, you'll be responsible for designing and crafting internal and external systems and APIs that are elegant and intuitive to use.
• We're fans of engineers who think about all aspects of the product, and keep UX and business objectives in mind as they're building.

• We hope to build a team that is curious, and open-minded.
• May be building large-scale high-performance data pipelines, event ingestion systems, or generally working with larger production systems
• Linux, containers & cloud environments such as AWS and Google Cloud; Kafka, Pubsub & SQS style architectures; Go, Rust, C++, or Clojure, as we explore incorporating more robust systems for our backend
