# Founding Engineer - Company: [Clera]() - Location: Munich - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: €90K – €150K - Posted: August 26, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a founding engineering position at a YC-backed enterprise AI startup building agents that automate complex system integrations, migrations, and implementations — the kind of critical infrastructure work that typically takes consultants months to deliver. You'll join a small, senior team and have direct influence over the architecture, culture, and engineering bar for everyone who comes after you. ### What You'll Do * Build the agent core: the planning, execution, and self-healing loops that turn natural-language integration descriptions into production-grade data movement. * Own systems end to end — connectors, transformation engine, execution runtime, web app, SDK, and MCP server — picking up the highest-leverage problem each week and shipping it. * Work on production-critical infrastructure that operates directly on live ERP and financial systems, where reliability and failure-mode awareness genuinely matter. * Join customer calls when technical depth is needed, translating real-world requirements into product decisions. * Set the engineering patterns and standards that the next wave of engineers will build on. ### What We're Looking For * 2+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems. * Strong proficiency in TypeScript with demonstrated experience building full-stack, end-to-end applications. * Experience designing and implementing critical infrastructure with sound judgment on reliability and scalability. * Hands-on experience integrating with or implementing enterprise systems such as ERPs, CRMs, or data warehouse platforms (e.g. SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, Snowflake, or similar). * Proficiency in at least one additional language beyond TypeScript — Python, Go, or C. * Experience working directly with customers on technical implementations or support. * Experience building or meaningfully contributing to open source projects. * Background in data migration, ETL, or system integration work is a strong plus. * Strong CS fundamentals from a rigorous academic background or equivalent demonstrated depth through competitive programming or impactful internships. * Comfortable in an early-stage environment with limited process and high ownership. * Clear, direct communicator — with teammates and with customers alike. ### Compensation & Benefits Salary range: **€90,000 – €150,000** annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. ### Location On-site in **Munich, Germany**. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
