Join live voice chats. Backed by a16z.
About the role
We're hiring an early to mid-level Senior Backend Engineer to join our server engineering team. This role sits on our Core squad, which owns rapid product explorations, app quality, and monetization features for Clubhouse Plus users. We’re looking for engineers who think at a systems level, ship with urgency, and build with a platform mindset — whether they're delivering a user-facing feature or designing a shared service.
What they're looking for
- You have a product mindset. You connect backend work to measurable business impact. You think about how experiments tie to user growth and engagement, and you balance technical decisions with product outcomes
- You move quickly and iterate. You can scope and deliver MVPs to learn early, gather data, and iterate. You know how to balance speed and reliability so experiment results are trustworthy
- You work well cross-functionally. You enjoy partnering closely with Product Managers, Designers, and Data Scientists to shape hypotheses and act on results. You communicate tradeoffs clearly and can reframe constraints as opportunities
- You’re collaborative and low ego. You evolve your thinking based on new data, seek the best solution regardless of ownership, and contribute to a positive, inclusive team culture
