The Company You’ll Join

Clearstory is a first-of-its-kind, category-defining software that is revolutionizing the commercial construction industry. We are digitizing and automating the change order process inside construction projects, eliminating reliance on outdated methods like carbon copy paper, spreadsheets, and email.

Just as TurboTax did for tax documents and Bill.com did for accounts payable, Clearstory is streamlining change order communication in construction, leading to increased profits, stronger contractor relationships, greater transparency, and less wasted time and paper.

As a Series B SaaS company with strong market traction, we’re on a mission to redefine how construction teams collaborate on cost management.

The Team You’ll Be Surrounded By

Our team includes experienced SaaS sales, marketing, engineering, and product leaders, alongside professionals with deep expertise in commercial construction. We understand our customers’ pain points and have built a category-defining product that serves them first.

You’ll be part of an ambitious and collaborative company, committed to growing a supportive and diverse team that is passionate about empowering our contractor customers. More important than meeting 100% of qualifications, we’re looking for collaborative, long-term team members with a growth mindset, proactive communication skills, and a bias toward action.

The Opportunity

As a Product Designer at Clearstory, you’ll have the opportunity to make an immediate impact on our rapidly growing product. You’ll play a key role in shaping the user experience of a platform with strong product-market fit and a thriving customer base.

This is your chance to join a team that is bringing game-changing technology to a static, pen-and-paper-driven part of the construction industry. You’ll work on innovative features, solve real-world problems, and be part of an exciting, high-growth environment.

Benefits

Benefits

• Competitive salary and early equity in a high-growth startup.
• Hybrid work schedule – 3 days a week in our Walnut Creek office, 2 flex days.
• Subsidized healthcare, vision, and dental coverage.
• Regular executive interaction and mentorship opportunities.
• A chance to be part of a company defining a new category in construction technology.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to providing a positive interview experience for every candidate. If accommodations due to a disability or medical condition are needed, connect with us via email at [email protected]. As a company, we value fairness, collaboration, communication, and leadership and build our teams around these values.
