AI is unleashing the biggest wave of company creation in history. Clay's mission is to be the engine those companies use to grow to their full potential.
Clay predicts the next best action for your business and then helps you take it. We started by aggregating the best data for B2B companies. Then, we built the infrastructure to run any personalized campaign on top of it, including emails, ads, landing pages, and workflows that make reps more productive. Now, we're building agents that can help grow your company for you. We're already helping thousands of customers — including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Visa — go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.
In 2026, we raised a $115M Series D at $7.1B Valuation led by Wellington — and are on track to cross $200M in revenue this quarter. We also launched a $1M Scholarship fund for GTME Education.
Some things to know about us:
Our community includes 17,000+ customers, 200+ integration partners, 125+ agencies, 50+ Clay clubs, and 30k members on Slack.
Our culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs, activists, writers, clowns, marathoners, skydivers, psychedelic therapists, social workers, and more.
All employees can work with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.
Our operating principles — including negative maintenance and non-attached action — guide our work. Read more about them here.

Clay’s engineering team and codebase are growing quickly, and require continued investment in tooling and infrastructure to operate effectively.
In particular, as coding agents continue to advance, the hardest challenges in engineering aren't writing the code itself—they're everything around it: context, environment, validation, testing, and safely integrating changes into real production systems.
At Clay, we believe the next evolution of software engineering will come from building systems where coding agents can operate with deep awareness of the codebase, infrastructure, and development lifecycle.
That requires a major investment in developer experience and engineering infrastructure.
We’re expanding our infrastructure team to build the systems that make this possible — environments where agents can understand the full context of a codebase, execute development tasks end-to-end, and safely integrate their work into production.
While coding agents will be an important area to focus on, this role spans developer tooling, infrastructure, and agent execution systems, and the systems you build will shape how software gets built at Clay.
You’ll help design and build the developer experience that powers the next generation of software engineering at Clay.
This includes systems that make both engineers and coding agents dramatically more effective across the full development lifecycle.
Areas you might work on include:
Monorepo organization, orchestration, and tooling
CI/CD pipelines, including evaluation and validation of agent-generated changes
Cloud dev environment exploration
Expose rich codebase context to coding agents, enabling multiple agents running and parallel and supporting automated refactors, migrations, and bug fixing
Setup metrics and dashboards, organize forums - and any other venue to keep a pulse on how the engineering team is doing and how they can further be assisted
Our goal is to build the infrastructure harness that allows Clay to fully leverage the latest AI Advancements.
Success in this role means:
Clay engineers can move faster with less friction
Coding agents can operate with deep context and make meaningful changes safely
Our development environment adapts quickly as new AI capabilities emerge
Engineering productivity compounds as more of the software lifecycle becomes automated
Developing a relationship with the engineering team and creating a collaborative environment to resolve friction points
We’re looking for strong engineers who enjoy building systems that improve how software gets built.
You might be a good fit if you:
Have experience building developer tooling, infrastructure, or internal platforms
Care deeply about developer experience and engineering productivity, including removing obstacles to productivity
Enjoy designing systems that automate complex workflows
Are excited about how AI will transform the software development lifecycle
Write clean, maintainable code and enjoy owning systems end-to-end
Software engineering is changing quickly.
AI models can generate code, but making that code useful in real production environments requires deep integration with developer workflows, infrastructure, and codebase context.
At Clay, we’re investing heavily in building the systems that make that possible.
You’ll be working on infrastructure that sits at the center of how software gets built, and helping define how engineering evolves in the age of AI.
