Job Description

Founding Engineer

Clera

Role Description You'll be one of the first two founding engineers setting the technical culture for a fast-growing team. The company has seen rapid growth and just closed funding to scale. You'll work across the entire technical stack with significant ownership and autonomy. - Own problems end-to-end across multiple technical domains: LLM orchestration, conversation flow, tool integration, voice, UI, and infrastructure. - Debug production issues in real-time—from conversation logs to deployment regressions—and ship fixes quickly. - Design and prototype new features with minimal specification, from generative UI to agent versioning systems. - Build and maintain the core technical pillars: agent orchestration, embeddable adaptive UI, customer-facing platform, evaluation pipelines, and zero-cold-start infrastructure. - Write and iterate on evals that measure system quality and feed improvements back into the product. - Handle the full spectrum of early-stage work: frontend bugs, database migrations, customer debugging, and infrastructure design. Qualifications - Proven track record shipping systems that real users depend on. You can speak to what actually broke in production and how you fixed it. - Strong engineering judgment about what's ready to ship versus what needs more work. You move fast without creating hidden technical debt. - Hands-on experience making LLM systems work at scale. You understand the gap between demo and production, and you know how to close it through design and iteration. - Comfortable working across the stack—not for the title, but because the hardest problems don't fit into one layer. - Ability to take ownership without waiting for direction. If something is broken or unclear, you fix it. - Pragmatic about technology choices. You pick tools based on the problem, not preference. Compensation & Details - Work Arrangement: Full-time, founding-level role. - Location: Remote or onsite options available.
