Clera Technology/Software

Founding Engineer

San Francisco, CA In person Full-time

ABOUT THE ROLE As the first engineering hire at an early-stage AI software company, you'll build an end-to-end platform that observes enterprise workflows and automates them with AI-generated software. You'll work across the product and infrastructure, helping turn hands-on client delivery into a repeatable system. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build high-throughput systems that capture activity from client desktop environments. - Develop privacy protections and redaction so sensitive information stays within appropriate boundaries. - Model recorded work as structured processes and knowledge graphs. - Build coding agents that generate automation software and systems to deploy it into production. - Work directly with clients to understand their workflows, deliver solutions, and turn manual processes into product capabilities. - Own features end to end, from design through deployment and operation with real users.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - At least 2 years of experience building and shipping production software; founder experience may count. - Experience building with LLMs or AI agents in production systems. - Strong full-stack or backend skills in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, or a similar language, and a product mindset. - Experience working directly with clients or customers in a technical role. - Interest in a high-intensity early-stage role with founding-level ownership and comfort with ambiguity. - Experience with high-throughput data or event systems, Rust, desktop applications or agents, code-generation systems, Next.js, PostgreSQL, or Azure is useful.
