Clera

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

Join as one of the first specialized engineers building core systems that power an agent driven integration platform. You will work closely with the founding team to own critical components across the agent platform, infrastructure, and runtime integrations.

What You'll Do

  • Own core systems end to end from design to production deployment.

  • Define engineering patterns and best practices that shape future hires and projects.

  • Collaborate directly with founders to ship features and improvements to production on a regular cadence.

  • Help shape the system architecture as the product evolves.

What We're Looking For

  • 2 to 9 years of professional software engineering experience with hands on ownership of production systems.

  • Strong CS fundamentals and experience shipping end to end software across platforms, infrastructure, and runtimes.

  • Comfort using multiple AI coding agents and maintaining production quality and reliability.

  • Experience in a fast paced early stage environment and willingness to work closely with a small founding team.
