About Clipster
Clipster helps brands scale organic distribution through creators, with clear tracking, simple execution, and payouts tied to actual views.
After running campaigns manually, we built a platform to make the model scalable.
Since launching in early 2025, we've grown to 100,000+ creators, paid out $5M+, acquired 120+ clients, and run campaigns for names like Telegram, UFC, Universal Music Group, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Playboi Carti, and Kendrick Lamar.
Our growth has been 100% organic.
A person in this role is expected to:
- Partner closely with Product to shape and de-risk the roadmap 2–3 weeks in advance.
- Translate the Head of Engineering's long-term vision into actionable, short-term technical direction.
- Act as the primary translator between stakeholders and engineering, providing clear visibility into tradeoffs and project health.
- Take full accountability for sprint goals, ensuring high-quality releases are delivered on schedule.
- Raise the engineering bar by providing senior technical leadership and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Align individual career aspirations with company milestones, actively coaching engineers to reach their next level.
