Job Description
About Cluely
Cluely is building AI to give you an unfair advantage in every situation.
It acts as a desktop assistant that takes in screen, mic, and audio context to give you information and suggestions that existing model providers cannot, due to a lack of context.
We will win for two reasons:
1) Chatbots are not the best interface for multi-modal AI
2) We can make anything viral
About the Role
We work six days a week in-person in San Francisco, 10-12 hours a day.
You are expected to live within a block of the office (housing provided).
The entire codebase is strictly typed (no ts-ignore or anys). We use Bun, Elysia, and strictly typed routes.
You might be a good fit if you are:
• One of the best engineers in the world
• Strong fullstack engineer (React/Electron/Infra experience)
• You should know how to efficiently fetch and cache data in a React application
• You should know how to design and structure database schemas that optimize read and write performance
• You should be comfortable deploying and scaling applications and be able to weigh pros and cons of different infra/devops solutions
• I will sanity check all of the above in an interview with you
• Down to gamble your life into greatness
Compensation:
• Founding engineers get anywhere from $250k-$350k base + 0.25-0.5% equity
• We also offer free food
