About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Go deep on complex, correctness-critical problems — jurisdiction logic, deadline calculation, cross-system data sync, and the billing that depends on them.
Lead a project end to end: shape the design, write it down so others can follow the reasoning , and drive it across every team it touches.
Mentor a team of fast-rising engineers— through code review, pairing, and design discussion — with the kind of feedback that grows people toward senior.
Represent the team in cross-Clio technical discussions— architecture, standards, and the ambiguous cross-team problems that don't have an obvious owner.
Help us move fast sustainably— amplifying your output with AI while bringing enough structure that speed never costs clarity.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Deep experience building and scaling web applications in Ruby on Rails, especially where data integrity is non-negotiable.
A track record of leading projects end to end and documenting them— design docs, decision records, run-books — so the thinking outlives the moment.
Genuine strength in mentorship, particularly growing earlier-career engineers by listening and asking, not only telling.
Comfort in ambiguity and cross-functional rooms— you can build consensus, translate engineering for non-engineers (PM, Design, Legal, Finance, Support), and move alignment forward when no one clearly owns it.
Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build high-trust relationships with both technical and non-technical partners, and with customers.
A track record of past projects — notable wins and lessons learned.
You actively use AI to amplify your craft and are excited to push how far it goes.
