Clera
Founding Engineer
About this role
Join a founding engineering team building multi-modal AI agents for sports tech and sales automation. You'll own an entire domain end-to-end—from architecture to production—make product decisions directly with customers, and ship features across voice, SMS, and email channels.
What you'll do
- Own one of four core engineering domains end-to-end, including architecture, feature development, and production operations
- Participate in customer calls, gather feedback, and drive independent product decisions without a PM layer
- Build and optimize multi-modal agents targeting sub-500ms voice latency and robust conversation state across channels
- Define quality standards for non-deterministic systems through evals, prompt versioning, guardrails, and drift detection
- Work full-stack across React/Next.js frontends, Node.js backends, and Python voice services
- Ship features and manage daily production deployments in a fast-moving startup environment
What they're looking for
- TypeScript and Node.js (hard requirement)
- React/Next.js frontend development
- LLM APIs and agent SDKs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel AI SDK, or Mastra)
- Production voice or SMS agents
- Long-running agent state and memory management
- Agent evaluation and guardrails
- Python for real-time voice pipelines (LiveKit, Deepgram, STT/TTS)
- Full-stack system design and 0-to-1 product development
Benefits
- Equity compensation
- Founding-stage role with high ownership and autonomy
- Direct customer interaction and product influence
- Work on cutting-edge multi-modal AI agents
