Clockwork Systems is a well-funded Silicon Valley startup building world-class teams that will transform computer networking and distributed systems.

Accurately synchronized clocks are foundational for any real-time distributed system, from electronic trading and distributed ledgers to logging/tracing systems and distributed databases. Founded in 2018 by a group of researchers from Stanford University, Clockwork has developed a high-precision, software-based network clock synchronization system that delivers up to nanosecond accuracy at scale. Our solution is powering mission-critical enterprise applications in on-premises data centers and public clouds.

We are currently seeking senior software engineers who will help develop and deploy a wide range of next generation time-sensitive applications. Stay a nanosecond ahead of everyone else by joining our team of researchers and developers in California!
