Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 3, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 31, 2026. Clera scores B on the Alion truth index.

Overview
Company
Impact
Profile match
Clera is a San Francisco company that runs an AI recruiting platform positioned as a talent agent rather than a job board, matching engineers and other technical candidates to roles at venture-backed startups. Its system reads a candidate's background and preferences, then represents them to hiring teams at companies funded by firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Index Ventures and General Catalyst, compressing the introduction step that traditional headhunting handles manually. The model is aimed at the segment where recruiter fees are highest and candidate supply is thinnest, and the platform handles screening, scheduling and pipeline tracking for both sides of the match.

About the Role

Help build the infrastructure behind AI-powered service businesses, enabling small teams to coordinate AI workers and scale their operations. This is a flexible, full-time role shaped around your strengths in engineering, product, or company operations, with technical leadership scope for the right candidate.

What You'll Do

  • Define what you can own and deliver during your first 90 days.

  • Build and ship production software directly, contributing hands-on to the platform.

  • Help shape the product and technical direction for tools that support AI-enabled service businesses.

  • Depending on your strengths, take ownership across engineering, product, or company operations.

What We're Looking For

  • Typically 3 to 10 or more years of experience, including founding a company or serving as a startup CTO or first technical hire.

  • A continuing hands-on track record building production software, rather than a primarily management-focused career.

  • Experience building and shipping demanding, production-grade systems, or a record of technical leadership at a high-growth startup.

  • Background in AI, software, or service businesses is relevant; strong technical fundamentals are valued.

  • Seeking a full-time role, not freelance or fractional CTO work.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $150,000 to $250,000 annually, with equity structured around the role and candidate. Visa sponsorship is available, and relocation support is offered.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, United States.
