About this role
About ClarkClark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy.
We're starting with audit and accounting workflows—high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as product functionality. Our platform helps firms automate complex workflows, deploy AI safely, and build more efficient operations while maintaining the rigor professional services require.
We're building a world-class engineering team focused on reliability, product excellence, and AI-native workflows.
The RoleWe are hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to help build the foundation that the rest of Clark's engineering organization will scale on.
As we expand our AI, document processing, integrations, and customer-facing capabilities, we need engineers who can build the systems, tooling, and operational practices that allow the broader engineering team to move quickly with confidence.
This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering, product engineering, and reliability. You will own foundational systems that improve stability, increase engineering velocity, and create leverage across the entire company.
You will work closely with product engineers, AI engineers, and leadership to ensure Clark's platform remains reliable, scalable, and easy to build on.
Why This Role MattersOver the next year, Clark will significantly expand its investments in AI agents, document intelligence, integrations, and enterprise deployments.
The Platform Engineering team is responsible for building the foundation that enables those teams to move quickly without sacrificing reliability, maintainability, or operational excellence.
Success in this role will directly accelerate the effectiveness of our AI, OCR, integrations, and infrastructure teams.
