Senior Backend Golang Developer (Remote)

Clearstory is seeking a senior backend software developer in the Philippines to help build a world-class engineering team. You will build out a new software category within the massive trillion dollar commercial construction industry. We have a hands-on culture and expect the same of our developers. You will work on teams with members from the US and around the world, and will need at least 6 hours of overlap with our 9-5 US/Pacific time day. (12 AM – 8 AM Philippines time)

About The Role

As a senior backend Golang developer you will be working on the core feature team, reporting to our core team lead, to build our customer facing software. This includes maintaining shared golang packages and working on the core API that serves our web and mobile application clients. This cross functional team is directly contributing to the foundation of our SaaS based offering and is highly collaborative with other teams in the company.

There are plenty interesting technical challenges to solve and creative opportunities. Being able to problem solve, having attention to detail, and being accountable for testing your work before “throwing it over the fence” is important for this role. We are currently migrating a monolithic API in Node.js to a more distributed service oriented architecture in Golang.

This is your chance to join a team that is bringing game-changing technology to an underserved, static, pen-and-paper part of the commercial construction industry. As an earlier-stage company, you have the ability to make an immediate impact with a product that already has product market fit and a growing user base.

The Company You’ll Join

We are a first-of-its-kind, category-defining software that is revolutionizing the commercial construction industry. Clearstory is digitizing and automating the change order process inside the commercial construction industry. Regardless of what financial software a construction company uses internally, they can use us to share costs with the companies they work with.

The construction industry is being transformed fast by technology, but the way companies communicate costs hasn’t evolved in decades and still heavily relies on carbon copy paper, spreadsheets and email to track billions of dollars.

At Clearstory we are changing that and creating a new category “change order communication,” by intelligently digitizing this age-old process. This leads to an increase in profits, more successful contractor-to-customer relationships, more transparency into a project’s true cost, and less wasted paper!

We are a Series B 100% SaaS company with impressive credentials for a company at our stage.
