Clave is hiring Members of Technical Staff.

Miami, in person. $150k+ and 0.5 to 1.5%.

Clave is operational super-intelligence for fast food franchises. We built James, an AI agent that acts as a general manager and sits on top of the systems an operator already runs: POS, inventory, labor, back office, payroll and catering. It answers any question about their data over chat, our mobile app or WhatsApp, and takes action on those same systems, from sending a report to rebuilding an entire labor schedule and reordering inventory that is running low.

We just raised a $1M pre-seed from Hustle Fund and other funds, a16z and Bain scouts, and a group of QSR franchise operators. Operators of Ben & Jerry's, Wendy's, Auntie Anne's and Cinnabon run their operation on Clave, close to 300 stores. We have brought on so many clients in the last two weeks alone that we need someone who can jump into the fire from day one.

Roles

01

Member of Technical Staff

In demand

Full-time, in person, Miami

Half your time you are on a call with a client, building what they actually need. The other half you are making the system better so the next client takes a fraction of the work.

The technical core is architecting against legacy systems, ingesting large volumes of data from dozens of sources per client, and building and refining the ontology and action layer our agents depend on. Every architectural decision starts with the same question: what does this look like for the operator on the other end?

You will also own the user experience and be opinionated about it. Real ownership of entire pieces of the product, not the corporate version of it.

If you have spent the last few years at a big company waiting for someone to give you a real surface area to operate on, this is the role. Ex-founders are a big plus.

02

Founders' Associate

Paid internship / entry-level · potential Chief of Staff track

You'll work directly with our CEO, COO, and CTO on the operating rhythm of the company: organizing inbound, preparing materials for investor and client conversations, supporting external relationships, and helping move well-scoped internal projects forward.

You'll get exposure to conversations most people never see this early. Investor calls, client meetings, partnership and strategy discussions, and the real debates about where this company is headed. A raw view of Clave as we build it from what it is today into what it's going to become.

Three traits matter, in this order: agency, organization, curiosity. This is a paid role with mentorship, clear expectations, and hands-on learning. We cover travel, accommodation when needed, and any tools you use. Strong performers may be considered for future full-time roles as the company grows.

Open Application

Full-time · on-site · open function

Have a skill you think we could use, but don't see a role that fits it? Apply here for open consideration across any company function.

Tell us what you're great at, what you want to own, and why Clave should make room for you. Could be product, engineering, growth, operations, design, customer work, or something we haven't named yet.

If there's a fit, we'll follow up with a paid role scoped to the team need and your experience. We're especially interested in people who can work with us in person from Miami.

Tell us about you

We read every one. Be specific.

Be cocky. Sell yourself as hard as you can. We know you're humble in real life. But we're probably only reading the rest of this application if this part is interesting.

The hours you can't account for. The thing your mom doesn't get.

Resume

We'll get back to you within a week.

Three things, in everyone we hire

01

High agency

We're not going to walk over to your desk and tell you what to do. We expect you to walk into the office with five problems you've already started solving. If you think something could be better, go do it and tell us after.

02

A track record of excellence

We don't care what it's in. President of your Pokemon card trading club, number one ranked beach frisbee golf player in your county, top 100 Smash Bros player, whatever. We just want proof you've obsessed over becoming the best at something.

03

Obsession

We've all fallen in love with the problems we're solving here at Clave. Obsession is not something we're going to teach you. But it is contagious, and so is a lack thereof.
