Job Description

**_Clockwise is currently working & interviewing candidates remotely. We are
actively hiring for this position and will review your application._**

### **About Clockwise**

The most important time on our calendars is the space between meetings.
Clockwise is a new way of working designed to take back those precious
moments—and free up more time for ourselves every day—so we can feel present
when we’re working together and focused when we’re working on our own.

Clockwise learns about the things that matter to us and to our coworkers and
makes time for both, using AI to find the right moments for people to meet
while saving focus time for each of us. That’s what a sustainable future of
work looks like. And that’s what every day at Clockwise looks like.

We can’t fix our schedules on our own. But we can build the solution together.
Join us, and let’s rework the workday.

We're proud to have the backing of Coatue, Accel Partners, Greylock Partners,
Bain Capital Ventures and other preeminent investors. Our team has decades of
experience from places like Twitter, Asana, Salesforce, Dropbox, Meta, Stripe
and Google. Join us to help the world make time for what matters.
