ClearAngel is a new product from Clearbanc!
ClearAngel is building YC for the 99% of founders. Those who traditionally don’t have access to advice, capital or network -- we want to support that long tail.
ClearAngel is building YC for the 99% of founders. Those who traditionally don’t have access to advice, capital or network -- we want to support that long tail.
Most founders don't live in Silicon Valley or have the pristine pedigree to get in front of the "right" people. For far too long, startups have played on a scarcity model.
This is limiting the potential of founders. We fundamentally believe that great founders and companies are everywhere. Where there are problems, opportunities exist. We want to empower those founders.
We are building ClearAngel to democratize access to advice, network and capital.
We do this by scaling access to the rest of the world:
- Access to advice (knowledge, resources)
- Access to network (intros, people, community)
- Access to capital
The role of the Full-Stack Product Engineer is to collaborate on the development and maintenance of the Clear Angel’s application, responding to user feedback and business constraints in near real-time. Your responsibilities will be a superset of a typical Full-Stack Product Engineer, as there are often experiments and uncertainty that require creative solutioning at the earliest stages.
Application Deadline: ongoing

- You will own technical products end to end, from design and architecture to deployment and maintenance
- Working closely with every member of the team, you will produce significant components of the ClearAngel code
- Work closely with all functions of Clearbanc, ranging from core Engineering team to Data Science team to the marketing team

- You will scope out business needs for ClearAngel, and action them with speed and accuracy and then execute on it yourself
