## Job description

Full-Stack Web Developer — React, FastAPI, Elasticsearch (AWS/GCP)

**About Clarity**

Clarity is redefining customer experience with AI. Our mission is to empower businesses to deliver faster, smarter, and more human service interactions. By combining cutting-edge AI with intuitive design, we enable customer service teams to operate more efficiently while providing customers with seamless, personalized experiences.

We are **trusted by industry leaders like OpenAI, GrubHub, STC and Tabby** who rely on us to deliver real impact. Our investors include **Prosus Ventures, STV AI Fund (backed by Google) and angels from Open AI and Google**. With a 25% month-on-month growth rate and over 300% net revenue retention, this is a unique opportunity to join a hyper growth AI company and redefine an industry.

As a **Full-Stack Web Developer** at Clarity, you’ll own end-to-end product surfaces—from sleek React UIs to FastAPI services and Elasticsearch search/ —shipping fast, safely, and beautifully. You’re AI-native (Cursor, v0, Claude Code in your muscle memory), comfortable in both AWS and GCP, and you treat infra & DevOps as part of building great product, not an afterthought. You’ll collaborate directly with engineers, PMs, and the CTO to turn specs into production features used by brands like **Grubhub, Booking, Dropbox & Uber**.

## **What you'll do**

**50% Build — design & ship**

* Build responsive **React (TypeScript)** frontends (state mgmt, data viz, virtualized tables, forms, charts, file uploads, accessibility).
* Implement **FastAPI** services (async I/O, Pydantic v2, background jobs, caching) with robust testing.
* Design **Elasticsearch** models & queries
* Integrate AI features (streaming responses, structured outputs, eval hooks) to accelerate prototyping and user value.

**25% Scale & operate**

* Ship and run services on **AWS and/or GCP** (ECS/EKS/Lambda or Cloud Run/GKE), containerized with Docker.
* Own **CI/CD** (GitHub Actions), **IaC** (Terraform), logging/metrics/tracing (**OpenTelemetry**, CloudWatch/Stackdriver, Grafana/Prometheus), and **SLOs**.
* Optimize **p95 latency, throughput, and cost**; manage secrets, networking, VPCs, and build resilient retries/backoffs.

**15% Collaborate**

* Work closely with design/PM on specs and UX polish; pair with back-end/ML on data contracts and APIs.
* Partner with the Insights team on taxonomy/schema changes and with Data/ML on search & analytics expectations.

**10% Align & showcase**

* Write crisp docs, PRDs/tech notes, and demo your work to execs & customers.
* Contribute to on-call for your services and drive post-mortems to closure.

What makes you a great fit

* **Owner’s mindset**: you take ideas from zero → shipped → observed → iterated; you sweat details and outcomes.
* **AI-native builder**: Cursor, **v0**, Claude Code (and friends) are daily drivers for rapid prototyping and refactors.
* **React + TypeScript** mastery: component design, hooks, performance, testing (Vitest/Jest, Playwright).
* **FastAPI** expertise: async patterns, Pydantic schemas, pagination, auth (OAuth2/OIDC), rate-limits, background jobs.
* **Elasticsearch** fluency: mappings/analyzers (ngrams, synonyms), aggregations, filters, sorting, performance tuning.
* **Cloud & DevOps**: solid experience on **AWS and/or GCP**, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, monitoring/alerts.
* **Datastores**: Postgres (SQL, migrations), Redis (caching/queues).
* **Quality & security**: code reviews, type safety, lint/format, secrets mgmt, least-privilege IAM, basic SOC2 hygiene.
* Communicates clearly with product sense; ships value weekly.

## **Perks and bonuses**

* **Remote-first** freedom & flexible hours 🏠
* **Regular off-sites** & monthly virtual game nights 🎉
* **Unlimited vacation** (minimum 20 days encouraged) 🏝️
* **Learning budget** for conferences, courses & books 📚
* **Startup equity** in a rapidly growing market 💼
