Founding Engineer
Clera · San Francisco, United States
About The Role
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're a small, fast-moving team building an agentic integration platform for the physical economy — helping supply chain businesses connect their ERP, WMS, OMS, TMS, EDI, and logistics systems in hours instead of months. Our AI-generated integration platform is already serving paying enterprise customers, and we're now bringing on our first engineering hire.
This is a true founding engineer role: you'll own core systems end-to-end, set the technical patterns every future hire builds on, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders to ship reliable, production-grade software every day.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.
- Establish engineering patterns, conventions, and architecture decisions that will define how the team operates as it scales.
- Partner directly with the founders — your technical opinion matters as much as your code.
- Ship to production constantly, building observable, reliable, and resilient distributed systems.
- Drive end-to-end feature development across frontend, backend, and infrastructure with measurable customer impact.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-haves
- 3+ years of software engineering experience in fast-paced environments; startup experience strongly preferred.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React for frontend, and Node.js for backend.
- Demonstrated ability to build something 0 to 1 — whether at an early-stage startup or through serious side projects.
- Experience integrating or building workflows around large language models (LLMs) and agent-based platforms.
- Hands-on experience with AWS (cloud infrastructure) and PostgreSQL (data storage).
- Experience with observability, monitoring, tracing, and reliable retry/queuing patterns in distributed systems.
- Track record of owning features across the full stack — frontend, backend, and infra — with measurable customer outcomes.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Bun, Effect-TS, or Kubernetes.
- Background in supply chain, logistics, or enterprise SaaS integrations.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually (depending on experience)
- Equity participation as a founding team member
- Visa sponsorship available
LOCATION
- On-site in San Francisco, CA
- This is an in-person role — we work together closely as a small team
