Clera is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer — a full-time, based in San Francisco, CA role ($150k–$250k). Apply directly on Clera's careers page below.

Forward Deployed Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: San Francisco

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is an early engineering hire at an agentic integration platform, working directly alongside the founding team to own core systems end-to-end. You'll help build and shape the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime — the foundation everything else gets built on. It's a rare opportunity to set engineering patterns from the ground up at a company doing genuinely novel work in production AI systems.

What You'll Do

  • Own the agent platform, infrastructure, and integrations runtime end-to-end.

  • Establish engineering patterns and standards that every future hire will build upon.

  • Ship to production constantly, working closely with the founders on the full system.

  • Help shape the architecture and direction of the platform in your first year.

What We're Looking For

  • 2–9 years of engineering experience, ideally across backend systems and infrastructure.

  • Strong proficiency with TypeScript; comfort with the broader stack (React, Bun, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS) is a plus.

  • Experience building production-grade, distributed, or agentic systems — not just prototypes.

  • Background at high-caliber engineering organizations (e.g. top-tier tech, consulting, or developer tooling companies).

  • Comfortable with ownership and ambiguity in an early-stage environment.

  • Strong CS fundamentals and a bias for shipping working software.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $150,000 – $250,000 USD annually.

  • Visa sponsorship: Available.

Location

On-site in San Francisco, CA, United States.
