Psychedelic Engineer information

What is a psychedelic engineer?

Psychedelic Engineers are professionals who specialize in the development, design, and optimization of technologies or methodologies related to the use of psychedelic substances for therapeutic, research, or experiential purposes. Their work may involve creating hardware or software for safe psychedelic experiences, advancing neurotechnology for monitoring or guiding sessions, or developing protocols for clinical and research settings. They often collaborate with neuroscientists, clinicians, and software developers to ensure safety, efficacy, and ethical standards in psychedelic-assisted practices.

What are some common challenges faced by psychedelic engineers when working in multidisciplinary teams?

Psychedelic Engineers often collaborate with neuroscientists, chemists, clinicians, and regulatory specialists, which can present challenges in aligning technical approaches and expectations. Navigating differing priorities, terminologies, and compliance standards requires strong communication and adaptability. Successful Psychedelic Engineers proactively foster clear dialogue, stay updated on regulatory changes, and remain flexible to integrate feedback from diverse team members, ensuring project goals are met efficiently and safely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a psychedelic engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Psychedelic Engineer, you need a strong background in chemistry, pharmacology, or biotechnology, often supported by an advanced degree in a related field. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, analytical tools such as mass spectrometry, and relevant regulatory certifications is typically required. Creativity, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help professionals excel in designing and testing novel compounds within multidisciplinary teams. These skills are crucial for ensuring both innovation and safety in the development of psychedelic therapies or products.

Job description

About Clay
Our mission is to help organizations turn any growth idea into reality.
We see growth as a creative practice, not a formula. Finding and reaching your best-fit customers takes unique ideas and constant iteration. As AI makes execution faster and tactics easier to copy, creativity is the only lasting advantage. We're already helping thousands of customers - including Anthropic, Notion, Google, and Ramp - go to market with unique data, signals, and AI research.
In 2025, we raised a $100M Series C backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, CapitalG, and First Round - and crossed $100M in revenue.
In 2026, we announced our second employee tender offer in 9 months at a new $5B valuation. We also launched a community equity round, for our customers, agency partners, and club members.
Some things to know about us:
  • Our community includes 11,000+ customers, 150+ integration partners, 125+ agencies, 50+ Clay clubs, and 30k members on Slack.
  • Our culture is unique inside and outside of work. Our team members are also DJs, activists, writers, clowns, marathoners, skydivers, psychedelic therapists, social workers, and more.
  • All employees can work for free with world-class coaches who specialize in creativity, management, and more.
  • Our operating principles - including negative maintenance and non-attached action - guide our work. Read more about them here.
  • Read about us in the NYT, Forbes, First Round Review, and more.

The Role
As a Software Engineer on one of our Infrastructure or Platform teams, you'll work on the systems every Clay product depends on: how work gets executed and scheduled at scale, how services hold up under concurrency, how data is stored and served with predictable latency, and how the shared foundations are built so that product teams extend them rather than route around them.
This is a role with real latitude, the Platform work at Clay is not a back-office function. Whether a product team can ship next quarter usually comes down to whether the foundation supports it, and you'll be one of the people deciding what that foundation looks like.
What You'll Work On
  • Scale, reliability, and performance. Address DB contention, memory pressure, throughput ceilings, and any other bottlenecks that arise. Set performance and reliability targets that hold as we scale.
  • Platforms other engineers build on. Define the primitives, contracts, and extension points that let product teams ship on shared infrastructure.
  • Execution and orchestration. Evolve how work is defined, scheduled, retried, and observed across the product.
  • Observability. Give customers and engineers the instrumentation to see what a run did, where it went wrong, and why.
  • Raise the bar around you. Set technical direction other teams inherit, and pull engineering standards up through design reviews, code review, and the systems you leave behind.
What Success Looks Like
  • Product teams ship on shared infrastructure without needing a platform engineer to hold their hand.
  • The system stays predictable as load grows 10x, and cost per unit of work goes down rather than up.
  • Large, complex, long-running jobs are boring: they complete, and when they don't, the reason is obvious.
  • We can change how a core system works without breaking the products built on it.
  • Scale and reliability decisions are made against measured evidence.
What You'll Bring
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production systems at scale.
  • You spike hard on at least one of:
    • Scale, reliability, and performance - you've diagnosed and fixed DB contention, memory blowups, and throughput ceilings on systems under real load.
    • Platform and frameworks - you've built internal-facing platforms that other engineers built products on.
  • You think about platforms as products. You know who your consumers are, you design for their success, and you treat a confusing abstraction as a bug.
  • You're comfortable reasoning about distributed systems, concurrency, queuing, backpressure, and failure recovery, and about the data models underneath them.
  • You write and communicate clearly. Your design docs and RFCs make tradeoffs legible and move alignment forward.
  • You're familiar with our current tech stack or can learn quickly: React, TypeScript, Python, Node.js; AWS (Aurora/Postgres, Elasticache/Redis, ECR, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, OpenSearch); Terraform; CircleCI, Netlify, Playwright; CloudWatch, Datadog, Mezmo; ClickHouse, Dagster.
Nice To Haves
  • Experience with workflow engines, orchestration systems, or durable execution frameworks.
  • Experience taking a system from internal tool to company-wide platform, including migrating existing consumers onto it.
  • Experience with multi-tenant systems.
  • Experience running LLM calls or agent loops inside a production execution path.
  • Experience with data-intensive systems: search infrastructure, large result sets, or high-volume ingestion.

How We Work
We're a cross-site engineering org split between NYC and SF, working in two-week sprints with async planning in Slack, weekly cross-functional team meetings, and Linear as the source of truth for everything we're building.
