# Founding AI Engineer - Company: [Clera]() - Location: Amsterdam - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $225K – $255K - Posted: August 26, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a founding-level AI engineering role at a small, product-focused B2B SaaS pricing platform, sitting at the intersection of LLM infrastructure and high-stakes commercial decisions. You'll own the evaluation systems, feedback loops, and model infrastructure that tie AI-driven pricing recommendations directly to revenue and compliance outcomes. Your work will have immediate, measurable impact on customers from day one. ### What You'll Do * Build eval harnesses and benchmarks that use tracked pricing outcomes as ground truth for model quality. * Systematize and automate expert review workflows currently handled manually. * Develop AI personas simulating B2B buying committees and behavioral effects using usage data and call transcripts. * Automate persona training pipelines to replace today's manual processes. * Own LLM routing across providers (Anthropic, Google, etc.) with explicit cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs. * Maintain infrastructure and data residency boundaries, ensuring regional model calls comply with applicable regulations. * Extend the MCP server used by LLM agents so that features are driven agent-first, not just UI-first. * Work within a typed ontology of pricing entities to ensure model outputs are structured and auditable. * Identify and remediate systemic latency, data drift, and cold-start issues in the pricing loop. ### What We're Looking For * 8+ years of engineering experience with strong, recent production LLM depth. * Proven track record shipping and owning LLM-powered product features end-to-end — from development through production monitoring. * Direct experience building evals and observability for LLM systems, including eval harness creation and prompt baselining against a typed ontology. * Hands-on experience with structured data models (e.g., Pydantic) to produce auditable, typed model outputs. * Experience operating under data residency, SOC 2, and GDPR constraints in domains where correctness is audited (pricing, billing, payments). * Familiarity with LLM tooling platforms such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Braintrust, or OpenRouter; MCP or LLM agent tooling experience is a plus. * Strong communication skills to explain non-deterministic systems to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. * Ability to thrive in a lean, high-ownership, fast-moving startup environment. * Must be authorized to work in the United States; visa sponsorship is not available. ### Compensation & Benefits Salary range: **$225,000 – $255,000 USD annually**. Visa sponsorship is not available. ### Location On-site in **Amsterdam, Netherlands**. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
