Founding Engineer (Fullstack TypeScript)

San Francisco, CA

About the role

About Cluely

Cluely is building AI to give you an unfair advantage in every situation.

It acts as a desktop assistant that takes in screen, mic, and audio context to give you information and suggestions that existing model providers cannot, due to a lack of context.

We will win for two reasons:

  1. Chatbots are not the best interface for multi-modal AI

  2. We can make anything viral

About the Role

We work six days a week in-person in San Francisco, 10-12 hours a day.

You are expected to live within a block of the office (housing provided).

The entire codebase is strictly typed (no ts-ignore or anys). We use Bun, Elysia, and strictly typed routes.

You might be a good fit if you are:

  • One of the best engineers in the world

  • Strong fullstack engineer (React/Electron/Infra experience)

  • You should know how to efficiently fetch and cache data in a React application

  • You should know how to design and structure database schemas that optimize read and write performance

  • You should be comfortable deploying and scaling applications and be able to weigh pros and cons of different infra/devops solutions

  • I will sanity check all of the above in an interview with you

  • Down to gamble your life into greatness

Compensation:

  • Founding engineers get anywhere from $250k-$350k base + 0.25-0.5% equity
  • We also offer free food
