Job description

About Clark

Every audit answers one question: can I trust this? For 150 years, people have answered it by hand. Clark is changing that.

We build AI that doesn’t just assist auditors. It does the audit work itself. More than 35 CPA firms already use Clark to run audit fieldwork faster and at equal or better quality. Audit is where we start. Our mission is to build the trust infrastructure layer for the AI economy, and we’re only getting started.

We’re a small, hard-working team backed by top investors. We take ownership and judge ourselves by results. If you want to change how an entire profession works, you’ll fit in here.

The Role

We're hiring a Junior Software Engineer to help build the product and systems through which customers experience Clark. You'll work closely with senior engineers across the stack — frontend, backend, data, and integrations — while ramping up on our codebase, our customers, and how we build reliable software in a high-trust domain.

What You'll Do

Ship features across the stack under the guidance of senior engineers; write clean, tested, well-documented code; help build integrations and internal tools; investigate bugs and learn to debug across the stack; participate in code review and pick up team engineering practices; grow into owning larger pieces of the product over time.

Who You Are

0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent through school/internships/personal projects); solid fundamentals in at least one modern language/framework; a strong personal project or open-source contribution that shows real initiative; eager to learn fast in a high-ownership, fast-moving environment; comfortable asking questions and taking feedback; excited to work in person with a talent-dense team.

Bonus

Experience with TypeScript/React/Node or Python; any exposure to AI/LLM tooling; coursework or projects involving data-heavy or workflow-heavy systems; experience at a startup or on a small team.

The Environment

5 days a week on-site in NYC, no remote or hybrid; startup hours and pace; flat structure, no hierarchy; high ownership.

Benefits

Unlimited PTO; Wellhub Platinum membership; comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage; free company dinner every day.
