Senior Software Engineer

At Clutch, we believe advances in AI are fundamentally changing how great products are built. Traditional handoffs between product, design, and engineering are giving way to smaller, faster teams where builders can take ideas from concept to production in days instead of months.

Our engineers don't just write code, they own outcomes. That means working directly with stakeholders to understand the problem, shaping the solution, thinking through design and user experience, and building scalable products end to end, using strong engineering principles and AI-powered development tools. We're looking for people who see a broken process or an unanswered question and feel compelled to fix it, not wait for it to land in their queue.

This is a role for people who thrive on ownership of the problem, the solution, and the outcome. You'll have the autonomy to take initiatives from idea to launch, using whatever tools the job requires (code, AI, prototypes, judgment) to get there. If you're energized by ambiguity, moving fast, and building products with real business impact, you'll thrive at Clutch.

We believe great engineers can learn great technology.

Our team builds with technologies like TypeScript, React, Express, PostgreSQL, and AWS, but we're far more interested in exceptional engineers than perfect technology matches. If you've built outstanding products in another modern stack and are excited to learn, improve, and help evolve ours, we'd love to talk.
