- A collaborative mindset with a passion for mentoring others, continuously improving engineering practices, and building products that deliver measurable customer and business impact
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to establish our Observability framework and foundations. You will join us to accelerate building and scaling our innovative systems that support our growing identity platform. You will drive on Observability best practices to find and fix gaps in our observability and our overall systems. You will also lead practices such as load testing, capacity planning, game days, chaos testing, and incident post-mortems
- Embed within the Engineering pillar to deeply understand the product and implement observability across all key flows
- Facilitate and build load testing cases, ensuring we understand the limits and scaling factors of our services and systems
- Contribute to observability and support the design of new services and systems, ensuring highly reliable and scalable concepts are implemented
- Build and lead practices such as game days, chaos engineering, and failure analysis
- Build long-term capacity plans, with an eye toward reliability and cost-efficiency
Application process
- We keep a swift process with shorter timelines that make the best use of everyone’s time. Our process is usually completed in about 3 weeks. Here’s what you can expect:
- Recruiter Call → Zoom Technical Screen → Onsite Panel Interviews → Final Manager Conversations → Offer
Our take
Waiting in a security line is something everybody could do without before a long flight – and this unpleasant scenario is what CLEAR allows its millions of members to avoid. The company creates a single touchless ID based on a user’s biometrics, such as their eyes and face, enabling quick identity verification and frictionless travel.
CLEAR continues to develop its product, and is now moving beyond airports into office buildings, restaurants, and stadiums. The technology has already been used by several sports and entertainment partners, including multiple NBA teams and in the Super Bowl.
The company went public on the NYSE in June 2021 following a strategic funding round of $100M, which is being invested into accelerating the company's growth whilst expanding its offerings. Its technology is now being used for age verification, virtual queuing, and checking in.
