OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Negative maintenance
Go beyond your job to make life easier for others. Kill ambiguity before it slows others down, solve problems upstream, and proactively improve systems.
Non-attached action
Be intentional & adaptable without being trapped in ego. Move quickly, but don’t hold on tightly. Be thoughtful, but don’t overthink. Take action, but don't be attached to any result.
How we operate follows from those two principles. We act based on our best judgement and keep each other in the loop. We "make it work," then "make it great." We have quiet egos and prioritize the success of our team.
We embrace our zones of genius
We give people the space to thrive in their zone of genius, whether that means inventing a new role or stepping into one for the first time. We have farmers, magicians, journalists, and dancers who are also world-class developers, designers, communicators, and sellers.

Offices
3 offices, 3 time zones, 1 idea: that the spaces you work in should actually work for you. Each is built for collaboration, creativity, and care, and the unglamorous stuff that makes those possible, like good light, quiet corners, and a coffee machine nobody has to apologize for.

LIFE AT CLAY
Collective effervescence
We've built a place where people from every path—farmers, journalists, archaeologists, filmmakers, potters, puzzlers, musicians, and magicians—can create together.
Life at Clay can best be described as collective effervescence. We believe the most meaningful moments at work don't come from tightly packed schedules, but from spontaneity, shared curiosity, and giving people enough space to simply be human together.

Late night dinner
Staying late? We've got you covered. Dinner is taken care of so you can focus on the work, not the logistics.
Unlimited snacks & drinks
The kitchen is always stocked. Whatever keeps you going, it's probably already here.
Expensed coffee chats
Get to know the people you work with, on us. Coffee with a colleague is always a worthwhile meeting.
Creative referral program
Refer someone who joins Clay and you choose the adventure. Past picks: helicopter over Manhattan, front-row Broadway, one truly memorable hairdo.
DJ fridays
We close out the week with good music and a reason to stick around. Fridays have a different energy here.
Pop-up treats
Surprises happen here. Good ones. Don't ask, just show up.
Our benefits
Software gets its leverage from the people building it. So we try to give everyone here what they need to do the best work of their lives, benefits included.
Competitive salary and role trajectory
Your roles, responsibilities, and compensation will grow as we do.
Full health coverage
Fully funded, high quality health, dental & vision coverage options for US Claymates, plus bi-weekly office massages.
Lunch & dinner on us
Free lunch and dinner, every day. Because great work happens on a full stomach.
Flexible schedules & PTO
Work-life balance matters. We encourage everyone to take the time they need to rest and recharge.
Socials & retreats
DJ Fridays, daily team lunches, soccer and board game nights, and a special in-person retreat each year.
Onboarding stipend
We give every new hire a stipend to get whatever equipment/tools to make them productive.
Flexible in-person culture
We love the energy of in-person collaboration while also offering the flexibility to work from home when needed.
Parental & family benefits
IVF fertility benefits, egg freezing, and up to 4 months of paid parental leave.
A creative grant program
We believe the best builders are multi-dimensional, so we created Play Pot
Play Pot is a pool of funds for our team’s creative, playful, maybe even slightly weird ideas. We back the side quests, the experiments, and the things you feel called to make even when no one is asking for them.
If you want to write something, build something, design something, film something, compose something, fabricate something, or explore something unexpected, we will help you shape it into reality.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Interview process
We'd love to get to know you better, and for you to learn about us too! Here's what you can typically expect from an interview process at Clay. Some positions might have more or fewer interviews, or have them in a different order.
01
INTRO CALL
Your first conversation with Clay. We want to get to know you - what you've done, of course, but we also want to hear about what you want to build next, and what's your dream job. We'll give you as much context as we can on Clay and how we'll figure out if it's a great match for you.
02
exercise or follow-up call
This step is all about helping us get to know you even better and giving you insight into what the role is really like. We’ll tailor this part of the interview to focus on the specific skills that matter most for the position.
03
Onsite interviews
You’ll participate in 3-5 interviews with the team you’d be joining, along with a few cross-functional partners. These interviews will mix behavioral and technical questions. Don’t worry—we’ll walk you through what to expect in advance so you can feel fully prepared and confident for these conversations!
04
Reference checks
Once we’ve wrapped up the final interview, you’ll provide us with your references so we can gather feedback about your past experiences and contributions. We’re excited to learn more about how we can support your growth within our organization.
