Clearscope is trusted by 1,000+ customers like Adobe, Deloitte, Nvidia, Expedia, HubSpot, Shopify, Intuit, and Condé Nast to grow their audience. Our best-in-class platform leverages machine learning to arm content marketers and SEOs with the data, recommendations, and visibility they need to make quality content and reach their audience.
After 7 years of strong word-of-mouth growth, the Clearscope brand has become synonymous with quality. Customers choose us because our platform drives 70% more search traffic on average, and they stay for our polished product, consultative sales process, and focus on customer success.
We're a 100% bootstrapped and profitable business with a bias for sustainable growth, doing multi-millions in revenue with a small, remote-first team.
You'll work closely with both the Founder/CTO and Head of Product to drive growth by expanding our product from its well-established roots as a content optimization tool into a platform that spans the full SEO/content marketing workflow.
We excel at building a high-quality product with a small-but-mighty team by making smart tradeoffs and keeping our codebase clear and maintainable.
We're looking for experienced engineers who can pick up a problem and solve it, while also considering and communicating its impact on the product and codebase. In return, you can expect to own interesting work, be listened to by leadership, and become a key member of a small team punching above its weight.
