Full-stack Software Engineer

Clora is looking for a full-stack engineer to join our small, growing dev team. As a rapidly evolving company, our priorities shift quickly and there is an everchanging set of technical challenges to tackle.


Our Mission
Clora is building a platform that organizes and provides access to the world’s life science expertise in order to accelerate the development of new therapies and fundamentally change how this industry works. Our technology helps innovative life science (biotech / pharmaceutical / medical device) companies find, vet, and engage with top-tier life science experts on their most critical development priorities. We make the process of finding the right expertise fast, reliable, and more cost-effective.

Clora is already drastically reducing the time it takes to find the right talent, from over two months down to just a few days, and all at a third of the cost. As we continue to scale, Clora will meaningfully reduce the time it takes for life-improving therapies to get into the hands of patients most in need.

Our investors to date include Spark Capital, Felicis Ventures, Ludlow Ventures, Notation Capital, v1.vc, the founder/CTO of Hired and 99designs, and early investors in ClassPass and ZocDoc. Collectively, our investors have backed Twitter, Ginkgo Bioworks, Wayfair, Box, Tumblr, Foursquare, Postmates, Warby Parker, and Slack, among others.

Our vision is only possible with the right team. If you are scrappy, entrepreneurial in spirit, and eager to learn and grow, read on!
