# Forward Deployed Engineer - Company: [Clera]() - Location: San Francisco - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $150K – $250K - Posted: August 27, 2026 ## Job description ### 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**. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
