About the role

We're looking for a senior engineer who is equally comfortable shipping product and shaping the platform underneath it.
Because you span both the product surface and the platform, you'll see problems end to end - from a slow page load down to the query, the service, and the deployment that caused it.
That perspective is exactly what we want.

Design and build systems across the stack, from user-facing product features to the platform, infrastructure, and tooling that support them.
Own ambiguous, high-impact problems from framing through delivery - you help decide what to build and why, not just how.
Set technical direction for Clozd and drive alignment across teams on architecture, standards, and trade-offs.
Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, mentorship, and by example.
Partner closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to turn goals into shippable, well-scoped work.
Substantial experience building and operating production software, with real depth in both application/product engineering and platform, infrastructure, or DevOps.
The judgment to know when to build, when to buy, and when to delete. You optimize for impact, not novelty.

A track record of designing systems that held up under growth - and the scars to explain the trade-offs you'd make differently now.
Fluency across the stack - you can reason about a frontend performance problem and the database index that fixes it in the same conversation.
We care about what you can do, not a specific number of years or a particular degree.
Be a force multiplier - the projects you touch and the people you work with should get better.

How We Level This Role
We're open to hiring at Staff or Principal - the right title depends on scope and impact, and we'll calibrate during the process.
Principal engineers operate across teams and the broader org, set direction on the hardest and most ambiguous problems, and their decisions shape the technical strategy of the company.
If you're not sure which fits, apply anyway - we'll figure it out together.
