Ship it fast.\nIronclad is building AI on one of the most consequential datasets in enterprise software: over 2 billion contracts across thousands of the world's largest organizations. Contracts run every dollar, deal, and business relationship on the planet, and the AI transformation of this space is still largely uncharted. Engineers here are building agentic solutions to problems that haven't been solved yet, in a category that's still being defined. The feedback loop is short, the data is rich, and the people closest to the work are the ones deciding what gets built next. That ability to deliver impact quickly is why the the companies at the forefront of AI choose Ironclad to manage their contracts.\nWe’re consistently recognized as a leader in the industry: a Leader in the Forrester Wave and Gartner Magic Quadrant for Contract Lifecycle Management, a Fortune Great Place to Work, and one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Workplaces. Ironclad has also been named to Forbes’ AI 50 and Business Insider’s list of Companies to Bet Your Career On. We’re backed by leading investors including Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia, BOND, and Franklin Templeton.

With guidance from Senior and Staff engineers, you’ll own scoped improvements from investigation through rollout.\nWe’re looking for an engineer with solid coding fundamentals, an interest in infrastructure, and a drive to improve the developer experience.

You don’t need experience with every technology to apply.\nWhat you’ll bring\n2-4 years of software engineering experience, including internships or significant projects. A formal degree is not required.\n\nProgramming experience in TypeScript or JavaScript, plus Go or Python.\n\nComfort with shell scripting and the command line.\n\nWorking knowledge of Git and CI/CD concepts.\n\nAn interest in developer tooling, infrastructure, and helping other engineers work more effectively.\n\nClear communication and strong collaboration skills.\n\nAlignment with Ironclad’s values: drive, intent, integrity, and empathy.\n\nHelpful experience\nKubernetes, Docker, or SRE practices such as monitoring and incident response.\n\nwebpack, Jest, Vitest, Bazel, or Backstage.\n\nCloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.\n\nBase Salary Range: $150,000 - $165,000 offers company bonus\nThe base salary range represents the minimum and maximum of the salary range for this position based at our San Francisco headquarters.
