We need someone who thinks in terms of ownership, not tasks. The kind of person who hears a customer describe a pain point and immediately starts designing the solution in their head, not waiting for someone to write a ticket. Someone who looks at the full arc of a problem, from the corrosion eating through a 30-year-old steel wall to the decision maker who needs to justify the repair budget to their board, and builds the bridge between those realities.

This person could end up running a division. Or building one. Or becoming a COO. We don't know yet, and neither do you. That's what makes this interesting.

Both founders are engineers. We live in code, foundational principles, and a constant state of “why are things like this.” We're good at building. What we need is someone who takes what we build and makes it matter commercially. Someone who can sit with a customer, listen more than they talk, identify the real problem behind the stated one, and show them exactly how Clearwell changes their business. Not by reciting features, but by understanding their world deeply enough to connect the dots they haven't connected yet.

You should be technical enough to hold your own in a conversation about data pipelines or AI model behavior. You don't have to be an engineer today, but you need the curiosity and the drive to get there. If you see a gap in your knowledge, you close it. If you don't know something, you learn it by doing, not by waiting for a class.

This is not a narrow product. The problem space is enormous, and we're building across all of it:

Drone-captured imagery and personal camera workflows. Offline mesh networks for facilities with zero connectivity. AI-powered corrosion analysis and structural assessment. Regulatory compliance engines spanning international industrial standards that conflict each other and state-level codes that seem like they are trying to trap you into non-compliance. Risk scoring that changes how insurance underwriters think about liability. Automated reporting that turns a week of documentation into minutes. Product design, graphic systems, and interface thinking that makes complex industrial data feel intuitive.

We are bridging two worlds that speak to each other like a boomer speaks to GenZ: heavy industry and modern technology. Everything is on the table because we are AI first mindset and nothing like this has been built before.

The pay won't match what a big company offers. That's the truth, and we won't dress it up. What we will tell you is this: you'll be the third person in a company built by two founders who care more about the people than the outcome. That's not a line. It's a principle. If the company succeeds, it succeeds because the people in it were taken care of first.

You'll have a seat at the table from day one. Not a metaphorical seat. An actual voice in every major decision. Strategy, product, pricing, partnerships, hiring. You'll shape this company as much as we do.

The work is hard. Not hard in a “we glorify burnout” way. Hard in the way that matters: deep thinking, real problems, no playbook. You'll spend a morning learning how corrosion control technology works so you can speak credibly to an asset owner in the afternoon. You'll close a deal on Tuesday and spend Wednesday making sure the project delivers exactly what was promised. You'll go from graphic design to sales psychology to customer onboarding in the same week. Maybe while you're on a flight to a conference. If that sounds exhausting, this isn't for you. If it sounds like the job you've been looking for your entire career, keep reading.

You're a deep thinker who also knows that thinking without execution is just philosophy. You believe hard work pays off, not because someone told you, but because you've lived it. You've built something from nothing at least once, even as a hobby, even if it was small. Might have been a webpage, might have been a Pi project, might have been a pitch deck or business plan. But you built it and it lives rent free in your head.

You think in systems. Not just technical systems, but human ones. You understand that the best product in the world fails if the person buying it doesn't feel understood. You have genuine empathy for the people who operate, inspect, and manage critical infrastructure, and you want to build tools that respect their expertise rather than replace it.

You know how to sell without it feeling like selling, because to you it isn't. You're helping. You listen first, you ask the question nobody else thought to ask, and you make the customer feel like you solved their problem before they finished explaining it. You carry that same ownership through delivery, because you care more about the result than the receipt. A lost deal doesn't crush you because the conversation still mattered, and you know the way you showed up in that room is what opens the next door. But you don't just close what's in front of you. You think about where the next conversation comes from. Maybe that's an inbound system that pulls people in before they know they need you. Maybe it's the way you work a conference room so that three conversations find their way back to you by the end of the night. You understand that pipeline isn't something that happens to you. It's something you build. And honestly, you'd probably be doing most of this even if nobody paid you, because the work itself is the thing.

You bring energy to a room. Not noise, energy. You have opinions, and you've earned the right to voice them by doing the work to back them up. You don't need to be managed. You manage yourself and then ask what else needs to be done. And when the time comes to lead others, you lead by making the people around you better, not by standing above them. You'd rather clear the path for someone than take the credit for walking it.

You're not looking for a job. You're looking for the thing that makes you come alive.

Send us something that tells us who you are. Not a cover letter. Not a formatted resume (but we'll take a look at that too). Tell us what problem you'd solve first if you walked in tomorrow. Tell us why you care about infrastructure, or AI, or building something real. Tell us what you've built that you're proud of, even if nobody else noticed.

If you're the person we're looking for, you'll know.
