Clarify Staff Platform Engineer at Clarify will own the architecture and technical direction of the data platform, ingestion pipelines, eventing system, integrations, and public APIs. The role involves building reliable data ingestion and event-driven systems to support AI-native CRM features.

Responsibilities

A CRM is only as good as the data in it. Everything Clarify does — our AI Rep, reporting, Signals — runs on a platform that ingests, models and reacts to a constant stream of customer data: email, calendar, calls, product usage and records from tools like HubSpot, Salesforce and Stripe. That platform is where customer trust is won or lost, and it's where we're adding senior strength right now.
As a Staff Platform Engineer, you'll own the foundations the rest of the product is built on: our data platform, ingestion pipelines, eventing system, integrations and public APIs. You'll set the technical direction for how data enters Clarify, how it's modeled and kept clean, and how the product and our customers build on top of it. You'll work closely with the founders and product squads, and you'll own the reliability of what you build in production.
Own the architecture of Clarify's data platform and set its technical direction as we scale
Build ingestion pipelines that bring in email, calendar, calls and third-party data reliably and at volume
Evolve our eventing system so product features, AI agents and Signals can react to changes in real time
Design the canonical data model and integration framework that lets systems like HubSpot, Salesforce and Stripe map cleanly into Clarify
Shape our public APIs and webhooks so customers and partners can build on Clarify
Solve the hard parts: rate limits, backfills, ordering, idempotency, conflict resolution and dedup
Build observability so we catch data issues before customers do
Raise the bar for the engineering team through design reviews, mentoring and pragmatic standards
Use AI in your workflow to move faster on modeling, testing and review
