ClearAngel is building YC for the 99% of founders. Those who traditionally don’t have access to advice, capital or network -- we want to support that long tail. 

Most founders don't live in Silicon Valley or have the pristine pedigree to get in front of the "right" people. For far too long, startups have played on a scarcity model.

This is limiting the potential of founders. We fundamentally believe that great founders and companies are everywhere. Where there are problems, opportunities exist. We want to empower those founders. 

We are building ClearAngel to democratize access to advice, network and capital.

We do this by scaling access to the rest of the world:

• Access to advice (knowledge, resources)
• Access to network (intros, people, community)
• Access to capital

The role of the Data Engineer is to collaborate on backend architecture and minimalistic data pipelines that enable features for the Clear Angels product and supporting processes. Your responsibilities will be a superset of a typical Data Engineer, as there are often experiments and uncertainty that require creative solutioning at the earliest stages.

Application Deadline: ongoing

What your day-to-day will look like:

• You will own technical products end to end, from design and architecture to deployment and maintenance
• Working closely with every member of the team, you will produce significant components of the ClearAngel code
• Work closely with all functions of Clearbanc, ranging from core Engineering team to Data Science team to the marketing team
• You be in constant communication with the team to understand what features of the platform need to be built out, and solve bug fixes when necessary
• You will scope out business needs for ClearAngel, and action them with speed and accuracy and then execute on it yourself
• You will run and participate in founder townhalls, communicating closely with early-stage entrepreneurs
• When it comes to product and engineering on ClearAngel, buck stops with you. Coordinate, roll up your sleeves, do what’s necessary to get the ball moving forward

You will thrive if you:

• Have a desire to help founders. We take a strong founder first stance on this team
• Are self sufficient when it comes to execution. Figure out how to solve problems and make things happen, not waiting for help or permission
• On this team, we maximize learning. You will fail if you're not learning fast enough
• Are comforable working in a high growth, constantly changing environment
• You are heavy bias towards action. Ability to solve problems end-to-end on their own. You will implement ideas and experiments on your own with minimal support
• Have experience working in a senior software engineering role, you are an expert when it comes to coding and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to get the job done!
• Have a strong business sense, you can foresee potential issues and solve them quickly
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across multiple teams
• Strong interest in building businesses, ecommerce, fintech

Technical Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience working on a variety of different projects / stacks would be ideal
• Experience working on remote teams
• Able to architect and scale data integrations from third-party API docs independently without much support
• Interested and able to prototype solutions that might not scale to 1,000,000 users but can get the job done while we derisk the business outcomes
• Comfortable working in server and database environments that are changing constantly
• Demonstrated experience with using third party solutions and external APIs to supercharge existing features
• Comfortable in a fast pace, changing roadmap team building the plane after jumping off the cliff
