Our Vision

Clarity is an operating system for revenue in a business. An AI-powered workspace that sales, customer support, and product work out of to close customers, prevent churn, and build product.

We are passionate about building high-quality software and products that people love. We have growth mindsets and are excited about pushing ourselves to be the best we can be.

We think we’re onto something big, and are doing everything we can to make it happen.

Your Mission

The vision for Clarity is made possible by the advent of large language models and generative AI. Our product ingests massive amount of data that needs to be ingested from tools across the stack, reliably processed and analyzed into our intelligence, and then served to the user instantly. Our customers rely on Clarity to build their businesses and need it to work reliably and correctly every single day and we’re hiring a Founding AI engineer to help lead these backend efforts.

We’re a small team that moves quickly while keeping a high quality bar. We’re looking for someone who is excited about taking ownership of large parts of Clarity’s product and AI stack.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate, optimistic, and has a deep-rooted desire to build something great (and to have fun while doing it).
