Member of Technical Staff

Clera is an early-stage AI infrastructure startup focused on building the essential backbone for AI-native service businesses. As a founding engineer, you will play a pivotal role in defining the technical foundation of a platform where AI agents execute complex tasks and human operators manage workflows at scale.

Key responsibilities

• Design and build core infrastructure that enables AI agents to reliably execute complex, real-world service workflows.
• Make foundational architectural decisions that will influence the system for years to come.
• Collaborate closely with the founder to translate product vision into robust, scalable engineering.
• Establish engineering practices, tooling, and standards as one of the earliest technical hires.
• Iterate rapidly on systems that sit at the intersection of AI orchestration and operational reliability.

Requirements

• 8 to 10 or more years of software engineering experience, with a track record of building and shipping production systems.
• Strong CS fundamentals and experience designing distributed or infrastructure-level systems.
• Hands-on experience in AI/ML systems, agent frameworks, or AI-adjacent infrastructure.
• Comfort operating with high ambiguity and taking ownership in a zero-to-one environment.
• Prior experience at an early-stage startup or in a founding engineer role is a strong plus.

What we offer

• The opportunity to shape the architecture, culture, and trajectory of a growing engineering team.
• Direct involvement in building cutting-edge AI infrastructure from the ground up.
• A fully remote work environment that supports high-impact, autonomous engineering work.
