Job Description

Clipbook’s mission : reinvent how leaders listen to and engage with the world of information that comes out every day.

Our platform ingests, comprehends, summarizes, and surfaces insights and actions from traditional news, TV, podcast, social media, and internet data at scale—across text, audio, and video in real time.

We bootstrapped to $1M ARR and profitability before raising $3.3 million (led by Mark Cuban, the best investor in comms) to accelerate growth. We’re working with 250+ clients like the City of New York, Gates Foundation, and Taco Bell.

Our goal : we want to be the definitive vertical AI company for communications

What You'll Do

• Embed with customers.  Work closely with comms and public affairs teams to understand their workflows and pain points. Design and deliver solutions that feel tailor-made but scale across accounts.
• Build & deploy.  Own integrations, data pipelines, and product customizations (Python, TypeScript, SQL / NoSQL). Move fast from concept to customer impact.
• Act as a bridge.  Capture field intelligence and feed it back into product and engineering. Ensure what we build matches what high-value users need.
• Solve diverse technical challenges.  From standing up real-time ingestion pipelines, to packaging AI / ML features for enterprise usability, to optimizing cloud deployments for scale.
• Drive adoption.  Partner with Customer Success and Sales to ensure pilots turn into long-term contracts. Build credibility as the technical face of Clipbook.
• Shape Clipbook’s culture.  As an early hire, set standards for how we work with customers, document solutions, and create repeatable playbooks.

What We’re Looking For

Bonus Points

Why Join Us as a Founding Engineer?

Compensation : $140–$170k salary, high-upside equity (from a team that understands commercial rigor and bootstrapping to 7-figures : pre-seed dilution but with Series A metrics), and full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, unlimited PTO).

Impact :  Direct line to customers and founders. See your work drive revenue and adoption in real time.

Growth :  Pathway into leadership, whether on the technical or go-to-market side.

Culture :  High trust, low ego, fast-moving. We obsess over solving real customer problems, not playing corporate games.

Mission :  Join a team passionate about helping leaders cut through the noise of the world’s information chaos.
