Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 20, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 15, 2026. Clera scores B on the Alion truth index.

Overview

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 an AI workforce platform for service businesses, joining an early team in a technical leadership role. The scope is flexible and can center on engineering, product, or company operations, depending on where you can make the greatest impact.

What You'll Do

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

  • Build and shape the platform that helps small teams coordinate AI workers and run their businesses.

  • Contribute across engineering, product, or operating work based on your strengths and the needs of the company.

  • Help establish the technical direction and execution approach as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience, with a background that may include founding a company, serving as a startup CTO or first technical hire, or leading a product or service business.

  • Experience building and shipping a product or company, including lessons learned from ventures that did not succeed.

  • Interest in AI and the infrastructure, product, or operational challenges of AI-enabled service businesses.

  • Willingness to take on a full-time role, rather than freelance or fractional CTO work.

Compensation & Benefits

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

Location

On-site in San Francisco, United States, six days per week. Candidates must be based in San Francisco or willing to relocate.
