Senior / Staff AI Platform Engineer

Clear Street is modernizing the brokerage ecosystem.

Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets.

We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today's complex, global market.

Our platform is fully integrated with central clearing houses and exchanges to support billions in trading volume per day.

We've agonized about our data model abstractions, created horizontal scalability, and crafted thoughtful APIs.

All so we can provide a best-in-class experience for our clients.

By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we're building the essentials to compete in today's fast-paced markets.
