About Clueso
About Clueso
At Clueso, we have a simple, yet powerful mission: to equip anyone to create great videos.
In today’s world, creating videos takes a combination of skills that few individuals, or even entire teams, can master. You need to write a script, storyboard your ideas, record footage, design visuals, add music, and piece it all together using complex video editing tools. It’s overwhelming, time-consuming, and expensive.
We’re building an AI-first video editing platform that helps anyone in an organization create great video content from rough ideas in minutes.

What You’ll Own
What You’ll Own
● Core Infrastructure & APIs: Design and scale backend services that power
everything from export pipelines to versioning and analytics.
● Distributed Compute Systems: Own the logic behind our parallel video rendering
workflows, async job queues, and cross-service orchestration.
● Performance & Reliability: Improve throughput, eliminate bottlenecks, and build
systems that fail gracefully under load.
● System Architecture: Play a central role in architectural decisions as we scale
users, teams, and features.
● Future Infra: Streaming, WebSocket infra, and real-time collaboration systems —
all on the roadmap, and you’ll help build them.

● Get fired up by distributed systems, async queues, and infrastructure challenges
most people avoid
● Obsess over clean APIs, thoughtful abstractions, and building for scale
● Prefer moving fast, making decisions quickly, and working without layers of red
tape
● Enjoy diving into messy, complex problems — and coming out with elegant
solutions
