About Clutch Clutch is Canada’s largest online used car retailer, delivering a seamless, hassle-free car-buying experience to drivers everywhere. Customers can browse hundreds of cars from the comfort of their home, get the right one delivered to their door, and enjoy peace of mind with our 10-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Named one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies two years in a row and awarded a spot on LinkedIn’s Top Canadian Startups list, we’re looking to add curious, hard-working, and driven individuals to our growing team. Headquartered in Toronto, Clutch was founded in 2017. Clutch is backed by world-class investors including Canaan, BrandProject, Real Ventures, D1 Capital, and Upper90. To learn more, visit clutch.ca About the role At Clutch, we believe advances in AI are fundamentally changing how great products are built. Traditional handoffs between product, design, and engineering are giving way to smaller, faster teams where builders can take ideas from concept to production in days instead of months. Our engineers don't just write code, they own outcomes. That means working directly with stakeholders to understand the problem, shaping the solution, thinking through design and user experience, and building scalable products end to end, using strong engineering principles and AI-powered development tools. We're looking for people who see a broken process or an unanswered question and feel compelled to fix it, not wait for it to land in their queue. This is a role for people who thrive on ownership of the problem, the solution, and the outcome. You'll have the autonomy to take initiatives from idea to launch, using whatever tools the job requires (code, AI, prototypes, judgment) to get there. If you're energized by ambiguity, moving fast, and building products with real business impact, you'll thrive at Clutch. Technology at Clutch We believe great engineers can learn great technology.
