From Clera's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
A well-funded, early-stage B2B SaaS startup in the AI-powered sales automation space is hiring its first Founding Engineer. You'll join the CTO as a core member of a tiny, high-caliber team and help set the technical culture for everyone who comes after. The company builds self-improving conversational agents that run product demos 24/7 — adapting to each buyer, handling technical questions, and getting smarter with every conversation. Growth has tripled month-over-month and demand is accelerating.
There are no strict lanes here. You'll own problems across the full stack, from LLM orchestration to embeddable frontend widgets to eval pipelines. Key technical pillars include:
LLM orchestration, conversation flow, tool use, and voice. Agents must understand unfamiliar products and explain them clearly to prospects with varying levels of context.
Embeddable, generative UI that adapts in real-time — fast-loading, interactive, and responsive across products and screen sizes.
Customer-facing tooling for configuring agents, managing flows, reviewing conversations, and measuring performance.
Pipelines that measure agent quality and feed learnings back automatically, so demos get smarter without manual intervention.
Zero cold starts, instant agent response, and versioning systems that let customers preview changes before they go live.
Day-to-Day Examples
Debug conversation logs, trace where an LLM lost the thread during a pricing objection, and ship a fix to the orchestration layer by lunch.
Prototype a generative UI widget in an afternoon based on a whiteboard sketch and have something demo-able by end of day.
Trace a quality regression to a prompt change, roll it back, and add an automated test to prevent recurrence.
Design agent versioning infrastructure from scratch so customers can safely preview updates.
