About the Role

CLEAR is building the secure identity company of the future, making experiences safer and easier. We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to help build the next generation of CLEAR's enterprise identity platform, CLEAR1, creating frictionless identity solutions for sophisticated companies and pushing technological boundaries.

Responsibilities

Own high-impact, cross-functional products and integrations end to end from problem framing and architecture through implementation, rollout, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
Partner across teams, establish reusable patterns and standards, improve reliability and execution, influence technical direction, and mentor other engineers.
Design, build, test, and deploy scalable applications that power CLEAR’s identity platform.
Own projects end to end—from technical discovery and architecture through implementation, rollout, adoption, and operational support.
Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, Security, and Operations to translate business problems into simple, scalable technical solutions.
Design for reality by understanding failure modes, system dependencies, degradation strategies, recovery paths, and the points where systems may break under scale.
Build quality and operability into the design from the start, including test strategy, observability, alerting, safe rollouts, rollback plans, and ongoing system health monitoring.
Drive technical direction and engineering best practices across teams by identifying architectural opportunities, reducing technical debt, and improving platform scalability, security, and maintainability.
Introduce the right level of rigor without adding unnecessary process, helping teams make clearer decisions and execute with greater confidence.
Bring others along by communicating tradeoffs clearly, inviting diverse perspectives, building alignment, and turning good ideas into shared decisions and action.
Raise the bar for engineering quality through thoughtful code reviews, design reviews, technical collaboration, and direct, constructive feedback.
Mentor and develop teammates, helping them become stronger engineers and more effective owners of their work.
Take ownership beyond implementation by proactively identifying opportunities, influencing the roadmap, driving improvements through completion, and remaining accountable for outcomes.

Requirements

9+ years of professional software engineering experience building production applications using technologies such as Python, React, and TypeScript.
Strong technical fundamentals across distributed systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and modern software architecture.
Experience building and operating cloud-native applications using AWS and technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines.
A demonstrated history of owning complex, cross-functional projects and driving them from idea to production with a bias for action.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, making thoughtful tradeoffs, and independently driving work forward.
A collaborative mindset with a passion for mentoring others, continuously improving engineering practices, and building products that deliver measurable customer and business impact.
