About Klarity
Klarity (YC S18) is building multimodal AI agents that replace how Fortune 500s understand and transform their operations.


Big companies pay consultants millions to document processes and analyze operations. It takes months and goes stale immediately. We built multimodal AI agents that do it continuously. OpenAI, Google, DoorDash, ServiceNow and many others are using Klarity to replace that entire process.


We shipped GPT-4 document chat within 12 hours of OpenAI's launch. We believe speed and quality happen together when you're thoughtful about how you build.


The Role


We're hiring Backend + Applied AI Engineers to build the core systems that power Klarity's multimodal agents in real enterprise environments. This is a hands-on engineering role at the intersection of distributed systems and applied AI: you'll design and ship backend services that ingest messy real-world data, orchestrate model/agent workflows, enforce enterprise-grade security and deliver reliable outcomes at scale.


You'll work closely with product, design, and other engineers to turn ambitious AI capabilities into production-grade features that Fortune 500 enterprises can depend on. We care deeply about engineering fundamentals (correctness, observability, security, performance) and equally about iteration speed - because in this space, only the teams who ship quality products & features at incredible velocity win.


You'll be paired with senior engineers who'll accelerate your growth, but you'll own real features from day one - we don't believe in extended bench time.


Note
: We do not require a CS or Engineering degree. We care about your ability to ship, your systems thinking, and evidence of strong execution - whether throug...
