Role summary
Clicks is a seed-stage startup backed by prominent investors, having raised $4M. Their mission is to automate office work by enabling AI agents to operate computers like humans, performing any task a human office worker can. They are seeking a Software Engineer to develop agentic AI capabilities, build and evolve core infrastructure and product features, design and scale systems for reliability and performance, optimize application performance, create evaluation environments, build monitoring and deployment systems, and influence product direction. The ideal candidate has 2+ years of experience in backend systems, strong Python skills, proficiency with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), and experience with modern DevOps practices.
### About Clicks
We are a seed stage startup backed by Y Combinator, Fly Ventures and 20VC, and have recently raised a $4M seed round.
Our mission is to fully automate office work and become the operational backbone of every company in the world.
We believe the key is giving AI agents the broadest possible action space: computer use. Each Clicks agent has its own computer and operates it like a human: perceiving the screen and acting through mouse and keyboard inputs. This allows Clicks agents to perform any task or job that a human office worker can.
### What you’ll do
* Develop and optimize agentic AI capabilities
* Build and evolve the core infrastructure and product features of Clicks
* Design and scale systems to meet growing product demands while maintaining reliability and performance
* Optimize application performance, memory usage, and startup times
* Build evaluation environments for Clicks’ agents
* Create monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to ensure operational excellence
* Build deployment pipelines and robust update mechanisms
* Influence product direction and shape what we build
### Your background looks something like
* 2+ years of experience building and operating backend systems in production
* Strong programming skills, primarily in Python
* Proficiency with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP
* Are comfortable working with infrastructure as code and modern DevOps practices
* Thrive in an ultra fast-paced startup environment and enjoy taking ownership
### Strong candidates may also have
* Experience designing scalable systems (e.g. caching, sharding)
* Familiarity with FastAPI, Postgres, or similar backend technologies
* Frontend experience with TypeScript, React, and Node.js
* Experience with or a strong understanding of AI agents and applied AI systems
