Staff Platform Engineer
About Clarify
Clarify is building the world’s first autonomous CRM. For decades, CRMs have offloaded work onto teams. We’re flipping that dynamic. Our customers are founders and sellers who want a CRM that feels modern, intelligent, and helpful—one that pushes deals forward instead of slowing them down.
We’re a lean, ambitious team backed by top-tier investors (Madrona, USVP) and used by fast-growing B2B startups. The work is real, the bar is high, and the pace is fast.
