Senior Engineer, Platform

Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy.

We're starting with audit and accounting workflows—high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as product functionality. Our platform helps firms automate complex workflows, deploy AI safely, and build more efficient operations while maintaining the rigor professional services require.

We're building a world-class engineering team focused on reliability, product excellence, and AI-native workflows.

We are hiring Senior Platform Engineers to build the product and systems through which customers experience Clark.

You will own features from initial customer problem through frontend experience, backend architecture, data models, integrations, deployment, and production operation.

This is a broad engineering role for someone who enjoys moving across the stack, working directly with users, and solving the highest-leverage technical problem regardless of where it lives.

You will help build customer-facing workflows, integrations, shared services, internal tools, and the engineering foundation that allows Clark to scale.

Clark’s customers operate across complex workflows involving documents, accounting systems, workpapers, approvals, evidence, and collaboration. Our product must make those workflows simpler without sacrificing reliability, security, or control.

Full-stack engineers turn Clark’s AI capabilities into complete products that customers can deploy, understand, and trust. They also build the integrations and platform foundations that allow Clark to connect with existing systems and support increasingly complex enterprise workflows.

The systems you build will directly affect customer adoption, product velocity, reliability, and Clark’s ability to scale.
