About Clark

Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We're starting with audit and

accounting workflows — high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter

as much as product functionality.

The Role

We're hiring two Forward Deployed Engineers to work at the intersection of engineering,

customer success, and technical implementation. You'll work directly with customers to

understand their challenges, build customized solutions, and help them get the most out of

Clark's platform.

This role combines hands-on coding, low-code development, and customer-facing

problem-solving. You'll collaborate closely with engineering and product teams while taking

ownership of customer implementations, integrations, and workflow automations.

Work directly with customers to understand their workflows and technical needs; build and

customize solutions using code, low-code platforms, and AI tools; develop integrations,

automations, and internal workflows; support customer onboarding, implementation, and

troubleshooting; translate customer feedback into technical improvements; collaborate with

engineering and product teams to deliver reliable solutions; take ownership of technical

challenges from discovery through deployment.

Who You Are

0–2 years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, technical consulting, or

equivalent experience through internships and personal projects; foundational programming

skills in Python, JavaScript, or a similar language; interest in low-code tools, automation, and AI

technologies; strong communication skills and enthusiasm for working directly with customers;

ability to translate business problems into technical solutions; resourceful, curious, and

comfortable working independently; eager to learn quickly in a high-ownership, fast-moving

environment; excited to work in person with a talent-dense team.Bonus

Experience with low-code platforms such as Retool, n8n, Zapier, or Make; familiarity with APIs,

SQL, and software integrations; exposure to AI/LLM tooling or AI-powered workflow automation;

experience in customer-facing technical roles; experience at a startup or on a small team;

familiarity with accounting, audit, or financial services workflows.

The Environment

5 days a week on-site in NYC, no remote or hybrid; startup hours and pace; flat structure, no

hierarchy; high ownership; direct interaction with customers and engineering leadership.
