About ClearBrain

ClearBrain (YC W18) is a startup building the first self-serve AI platform for growth marketing. We help companies automatically predict and retarget users when they are most likely to purchase. Fortune 1000 companies use ClearBrain’s automated machine learning platform to personalize experiences for hundreds of millions of user predictions - as effectively as Uber or Google. We’re led by the founding engineers of Google Ads and Optimizely’s data infrastructure teams, and backed by investors in Dropbox, Optimizely, and AdMob. We’re a deeply technical team who value humility and customer empathy above all. As a group we’re also pretty good at bowling, D&D, and Rubik’s cubes. We are building an advanced analytics platform with the challenge of making it accessible to a smart, capable clientele of growth experts that demands ease of use, utility, high availability and good responsiveness. You’ll join a startup environment where you'll be exposed to a variety of backend, frontend, machine learning frameworks in a fast-moving company!
