Founding Engineer
cleraSan Francisco5d ago
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is the first engineering hire at a freshly funded, solo-founded startup building the infrastructure layer for AI-native service companies. You will work directly with the founder to turn a working product into agentic infrastructure capable of supporting a million users. The role carries a clear path to CTO as the team grows.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Rebuild a working product into scalable agentic infrastructure from the ground up.
- Design and operate the agent runtime: orchestration, memory, verification, and the machinery that makes an AI workforce reliable.
- Own work end to end across backend, infrastructure, frontend, and agent systems.
- Set the technical stack, standards, and engineering culture as the person establishing them.
- Ship to production weekly for real businesses running on the platform today.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 2 years shipping production software, or an equivalent track record as a founder or solo builder. Exceptional engineers earlier in their career are explicitly welcome.
- Hands-on experience building and running LLM or AI agent systems in production, with real users depending on them. Demos and side projects do not count.
