Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Clay sits in a modern GTM tooling corner of SaaS where product value is tightly linked to data access and automation. An integrations-focused engineering role matters here because the platform’s usefulness depends on reliably connecting to many third-party systems and making those connections feel seamless in the core product. The remit touches both infrastructure concerns and customer-facing enrichment workflows, a common pattern in SaaS products that become hubs for other tools.
For a long-term SaaS engineering career, integrations work builds durable leverage. It develops judgment around API design, authentication patterns, rate limiting, queueing, and operational reliability, all recurring themes in subscription software that runs continuously for customers. It also strengthens product-oriented engineering habits, since integration choices often translate directly into new use cases and measurable adoption.
This role tends to suit engineers who like owning systems end to end, from initial build through ongoing maintenance as partners change APIs and customer needs evolve. It also fits someone comfortable collaborating across engineering, product, and go-to-market adjacent functions, where clear technical communication is part of delivering outcomes. Remote-friendly setup signals alignment with distributed execution.

Software Engineer, Integrations @ Clay
As a software engineer on our integrations team, you’ll play a key role in building and scaling the data enrichments that are a cornerstone of our product. You’ll become an expert in building great 3rd party integrations, contributing to best practices around designing, developing, and maintaining our 100+ integrations that customers rely on every day. You’ll improve the scalability and functionality of our integration system, including our authorization, rate limiting and queueing systems for integrations. Putting on your product hat, you’ll also have the opportunity to improve the fullstack data enrichment user experience for our customers.
This is an opportunity to simultaneously ship code daily that directly unlocks new customer use cases, shape the architecture of our integrations system, and support other engineers on the team.
What You’ll Do
Design & ship new integrations with data providers who range from well-documented REST APIs to hand-rolled custom data solutions, webhooks and SQL databases.
Improve the integrations framework and infrastructure. You’ll improve the full-stack integrations system components such as account authorization, rate limiting and request queueing, and contribute to new ones like a data file ingestion and serving system. You’ll also contribute to ways in which we can make it easier to build and maintain new integrations.
Work cross-functionally with other teams in engineering, partnerships, customer success, and sales to understand customer needs, respond to feedback, and measure success. This includes explaining technical concepts to both other engineers and nontechnical folks at the company.
Debug and improve existing integrations. You’ll take ownership of integrations from start to finish, including iterating on feedback and maintaining their evolution over time.
Partner with product managers and customers to design and deliver new customer-facing features. You’ll help shape custom user experiences tailored to integrations, drawing on strong product sense and the ability to translate customer feedback and use cases into practical solutions.
What You'll Bring
You have experience with APIs, either building integrations with 3rd party APIs or building public APIs of your own.
You have a proven track record of execution. You have 2+ years of hands on software engineering experience building world-class products and shipping quickly.
You are an empathetic communicator. You express nuanced ideas clearly at different levels of abstraction for different audiences. In disagreements, you prioritize curiosity over confrontation, making sure everyone feels heard and understood. You enjoy mentoring peers and providing feedback on their code & technical designs.
You’re familiar with our current tech stack or can learn unfamiliar technologies quickly. For integrations the primary stack is Typescript, Node.js, AWS Lambda, SQL, and React.
Bonus: You have experience designing scalable distributed systems. You’re experienced with distributed systems principles like rate limiting and queueing, serverless computing, and data ingestion and serving.
Bonus: you understand sales and marketing workflows and are familiar with sales and marketing APIs.
