About

About Clerkie Clerkie is a fintech startup on a mission to democratize financial wellness using artificial intelligence. Launched in 2018, we began with an app to help the nearly 123 million underserved Americans in need of financial guidance. Since its inception, we have expanded our services and now pair consumer guidance with cutting‑edge B2B software, becoming the go‑to resource for creditors looking to manage loan losses while helping millions of borrowers get out of debt.
Clerkie is a remote‑first company with over 40 employees spanning four time zones across the United States. We have raised $41 million, including a $33 million Series A in early 2023, backed by investors such as Citi Ventures, Left Lane Capital, Wellington Ventures, Flourish Ventures, and Vestigo Ventures.
About the role We’re looking for a Full‑Stack engineer who wants to build, own, and ship end‑to‑end product experiences in a fast‑moving environment. This role is ideal for someone comfortable across the stack—from backend systems to user‑facing applications—and ready to take meaningful ownership of features and systems.
At Clerkie, engineers collaborate closely with product and design, contribute to technical decisions, and help shape features from concept through production. Because we’re early, this role goes beyond execution; you’ll play a key role in how we build—contributing to system design, product development, and the overall evolution of our platform.
Here's what you'll do
Build and maintain full‑stack features across backend services and user‑facing applications
Own features end‑to‑end, from design and implementation through production
Contribute to system reliability, performance, and scalability
Participate in technical design discussions and architecture decisions
Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver high‑quality user experiences
Improve visibility into system health and performance
Contribute to internal engineering practices, tooling, and documentation
Here's a snapshot of what the Engineer team tackled recently
Scaled backend systems to support growing enterprise usage
Built new infrastructure to support partner integrations
Improved system observability and production reliability
Supported high‑priority product initiatives tied to revenue growth
Collaborated closely with leadership on technical direction and trade‑offs
Refined how we build, ship, and maintain systems
Helped clean up and organize Coda, our internal knowledge hub, to make life easier for future new hires (like you!)
Onboarded a new teammate to the Engineering team and updated internal rituals to set them up for success
Spent the day on a private yacht in the Bahamas (yep), swimming with pigs, paddle‑boarding, jet‑skiing, and joining our team hackathon on a private island
And more! From big wins to team traditions, it’s been a big year so far and we’re just getting started
Must‑haves
Experience building and shipping full‑stack applications in production
Strong fundamentals in backend development and system design
Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript (Node.js and modern front‑end frameworks)
Experience working with databases (NoSQL experience is a plus)
Ability to own features end‑to‑end and operate independently
Strong communication skills across technical and non‑technical teams
Comfort working in a fast‑moving startup environment
Nice‑to‑haves (but not required)
Previous Full‑Stack or software engineering experience
Experience with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
Experience working on data‑intensive or complex applications
Familiarity with fintech or regulated environments
Experience in early‑stage or high‑growth startups
Curiosity about financial wellness and mission‑driven technology
What we value
Strong ownership mindset – you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
Bias for action – you move quickly and make thoughtful decisions
Customer‑first thinking – you care about the real‑world impact of what you build
Resilience and adaptability – you can navigate ambiguity and evolving priorities
Desire to build something meaningful and long‑lasting
