Employer job description
From Clera's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at a seed-stage AI startup building the intelligence layer for the construction industry. The company's platform transforms messy blueprints, permits, and construction documents into actionable insights — accelerating cost estimation and permitting workflows that directly impact housing, hospitals, and schools.
As a Founding AI Engineer
, you'll be one of the earliest technical hires, working hands-on with state-of-the-art computer vision, LLMs, and multimodal AI to prototype and ship production systems on real-world, noisy construction documents. The focus is squarely on the intelligence layer
— modeling, data pipelines, and inference — not the application UI.
This is a full-time, in-office role based in San Francisco, CA.
Candidates must be based in SF or willing to relocate. US work authorization is required; visa sponsorship is not available.
