About The Position

Clouted is hiring a senior Founding Software Engineer to build the Clouted Engine and platform: products and systems that automate strategy and operations for mass content distribution. This early, high-ownership role works directly with the founders. The engineer will ship full-stack features end-to-end, build the data and automation backbone behind campaigns, and help shape AI and agent infrastructure. The role suits a senior generalist who moves quickly, has strong product instincts, and is interested in social platforms, data, and AI agents.

The engineer will build core platform features, distribution pipelines and integrations, performance-data systems, agentic tooling, and internal tools for campaign operations, reporting, and creator management. They will own significant product surface area from architecture through deployment, balance velocity with reliability, and help establish engineering standards and practices as the team grows.

Clouted describes itself as operating at the intersection of technology and entertainment and says it is backed by a16z, Peak XV, and AppWorks. It works with artists, festivals, creators, and brands across the US and Asia.
