About Clipster
Clipster is where brands and creators connect to turn views into profits. Clippers (Creators) clip, remix, and post branded content on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, and beyond — earning money for every view they deliver. Brands get a significantly better influencer marketing experience thanks to scale, simplicity, and reliable performance tracking.
We started as an influencer marketing agency. While clients loved our results, delivering them was a pain. So we started automating everything we did — and it paid off.
2025 was a great year for us:
- We launched our platform in early 2025
- We grew our team to 35 members
- We scaled from 0 to more than 100,000 creators and paid out more than $5M to them
- We acquired more than 120 clients solely through word of mouth. Our growth has been 100% organic
- We ran campaigns for companies such as Telegram, UFC, Universal Music Group and artists such as Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Playboi Carti, and Kendrick Lamar
- We're profitable and have secured our first investor
The role
We are looking for a Backend-Heavy Senior Engineer who isn't afraid to touch the full stack. While your primary domain will be our Golang services and distributed architecture, you are a "Product Engineer" at heart — meaning you understand the "why" behind the code and can jump into the React/Next.js frontend whenever it's the shortest path to delivering value.
The mindset we hire for
- Intensity & Grit — You run toward hard problems and stay until they are solved.
- Ambitious Simplification — You have the intelligence to solve complex problems and the wisdom to choose the simplest solution.
- Ownership & Mission Alignment — You don't "close tickets"; you ship outcomes. You care about the creator economy as much as we do.
- AI Readiness — You leverage modern tools to multiply your output and keep us at the cutting edge.
- Humility & Collaboration — You are a high-bandwidth communicator who mentors others and leaves your ego at the door.
Your technical toolkit
- Core Backend — 5+ years of experience, with at least 3+ years of mastery in Golang. Comfortable with high-performance distributed systems.
- Fullstack Versatility — Backend is your home, but you have the skills to navigate and contribute to a React/Next.js frontend.
- Infrastructure & Data — Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL, Redis, and ideally GCP.
- Architectural Mindset — You move seamlessly from system design to shipping production-ready code. Clean code, test coverage, and documentation are your tools for maintaining velocity.
Bonus points
- Experience with payment systems (we handle around $1M in monthly payouts).
- Event-driven architectures and real-time data processing.
Why Clipster
- Total ownership - Join a lean tech team of fewer than 15 people. What you build today, millions will use tomorrow.
- Remote & async - Work where you are most effective. We only ask for availability during our core hours (10am – 2pm UTC+2).
- Zero bureaucracy - No endless meetings. We value documentation, Slack, and Loom for high-bandwidth, low-noise collaboration.
Next steps
- Discovery call - a brief chat with our recruiter.
- Pair programming - a hands-on session with one of our engineers.
- System design - a discussion about an architectural problem, based on our day-to-day problems.
- Engineering excellence discussion.
- Final meet - chat with our Founder and PM to talk mission and values.
