About Clearly AI
Clearly AI automates the most painful bottleneck in the enterprise: security and privacy reviews. We help security teams complete high-quality threat models, privacy impact assessments, and vendor risk evaluations in minutes instead of weeks.
We’re live with Fortune 500s and global brands including Rivian, Ericsson, HID Global, Affirm, Webflow, and Okta. We’ve reviewed thousands of security-critical products, from badge scanners to stablecoin platforms to autonomous driving features.
Backed by Y Combinator, Basis Set Ventures, Crosspoint Capital, Argon Ventures, and Ritual Capital. Selected as a Top 10 Finalist for the RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox Contest. Advised by former CISOs of Amplitude and OKX, the former CEO of Reddit, and the former CPO of Brex.
We are early. We are deeply technical. We are building alongside real practitioners, and we want a real practitioner who loves working with customers to help.
Location
Seattle/SF preferred, remote OK. We meet in person 1-2x per quarter. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for visa sponsorship now or in the future.

-
Integrate Clearly AI into those workflows alongside Jira, ServiceNow, Confluence, and GitHub
-
Drive disciplined implementation from contract to production

This role exists to ensure customers deploy Clearly AI deeply, correctly, and measurably.
