Founding Engineer
Clera · Berlin · $140,000–$240,000 (stated in the posting)
About the Role
Join an early-stage AI infrastructure team building a cloud-first platform for orchestrating coding agents. You will work closely with the founders to make persistent, collaborative agent workflows available across different infrastructure providers and interfaces.
What You'll Do
Build the core orchestration engine for running multiple coding agents in parallel and keeping long-running tasks active across sessions.
Develop support for deployments across customer servers, bare-metal infrastructure, cloud providers, and managed compute.
Enable teams to use a range of coding agents and models, including open-source models and bring-your-own subscriptions.
Build and ship desktop, web, and mobile experiences, along with messaging and project-management integrations.
Develop team features for shared environments, secrets, skills, MCP servers, spending controls, and usage visibility.
Work with early customers to understand their needs and turn feedback into product improvements.
What We're Looking For
Around two years of software engineering experience, or strong fundamentals as a recent graduate.
Strong experience building or operating cloud and compute infrastructure, with an ability to support varied deployment environments.
Regular hands-on use of coding agents, including experience running multiple agents in parallel and familiarity with current tools.
Interest in agent-based software development and infrastructure that is independent of any single provider.
Open-source contributions to coding agents or developer tools are a plus.
