You will join a small team where your decisions directly shape the architecture, and everything you build becomes the pattern future engineers follow. The work is technically serious: your code runs on live ERP and financial systems where reliability genuinely matters.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and evolve the agent core, including planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data movement.\n\nOwn systems end to end across connectors, the transformation engine, execution runtime, the web app, the SDK, and the MCP server.\n\nPick up the highest-leverage problem each week and ship it, without a ticket queue or pre-formed spec.\n\nJoin customer calls when a request touches your work, and use that context to inform what you build.\n\nSet the engineering bar and coding patterns for the engineers who come after you.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n2+ years of production software engineering experience, with strong TypeScript proficiency and demonstrated end-to-end application delivery.\n\nProficiency in at least one additional language such as Python, Go, or C.\n\nExperience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, or data warehouse platforms (for example, SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, or Snowflake).\n\nExperience designing critical infrastructure with clear judgment on reliability and scalability tradeoffs.\n\nCredible startup or high-growth environment experience, comfortable operating with ambiguity and no hand-holding.\n\nExperience working directly with customers on technical implementations or support.\n\nExperience building or contributing to open source projects.\n\nExceptional communication skills: able to articulate problems, solutions, and needs clearly, including in front of customers.\n\nStrong CS fundamentals, whether from a top technical university, competitive programming, or strong internship experience.\n\nBackground in data migration, ETL, or system integration is a plus.\n\nExperience with distributed systems, data pipelines, or LLM/agent tooling is a plus.\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nSalary range: 90,000 to 150,000 EUR annually. Equity available. Visa sponsorship is not available.\nLocation\nOn-site five days per week in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Relocation is expected if you are not already based there.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2512,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T18:32:37Z"}],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.516,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":6,"reasons":["conf:0","agency","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-09-25T02:42:41Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":170599,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/clera-founding-engineer-97","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/clera-founding-engineer-97.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-25T02:42:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2919,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2081,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-26T00:00:00Z"}}}
