We also completed our first first employee tender offer and launched a community equity round, for our customers, agency partners, and club members.

Clay is scaling fast - building out enterprise-grade product capabilities while preserving the speed, quality, and delight that define our product. We’re looking for an experienced frontend engineer who obsesses over quality, system design, and developer experience, and who’s excited to raise the frontend bar across the company.
This role has a broad, visible impact. You’ll shape frontend architecture, improve reliability at scale, accelerate development through best-in-class tooling and AI workflows, and mentor engineers to level up frontend excellence across Clay.
What You’ll Do:
Set the standard for frontend excellence at Clay. You’ll be the go-to expert who raises the bar for quality, performance, and craft. You love mentoring engineers, shaping best practices, and building guardrails that make great frontend work the default.

Accelerate how teams ship. You’ll create a best-in-class frontend toolbox, streamline state management and data flows, and dramatically improve developer experience - unlocking faster iteration without sacrificing quality.
Lead the future of AI-assisted development. You’ll define how AI fits into our engineering workflows, enabling engineers, designers, and PMs to safely contribute to the codebase while scaling quality, velocity, and leverage across the company.
