# Product Engineer \(Mid-Level\) - Company: [Clera]() - Location: San Francisco - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $150K – $300K - Posted: August 26, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a full-stack Product Engineer role at an early-stage AI recruiting startup, working directly alongside founders to build and ship the core product. You'll own features end-to-end — from scoping through production — and have a real hand in shaping technical direction as the team scales. ### What You'll Do * Own complete product features from requirements and design through deployment and iteration. * Design APIs and data models, and implement both frontend and backend code. * Build user-facing experiences that balance usability with performance, iterating based on feedback and metrics. * Integrate LLM and AI capabilities into product flows to make intelligence reliable for end users. * Design and implement scalable backend services, data schemas, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and testing. * Collaborate directly with founders, product, and design to prioritize work and define success metrics. * Contribute to architecture and roadmap discussions, making pragmatic tradeoffs suited to early-stage growth. ### What We're Looking For * 2–8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing products. * Strong full-stack skills: **TypeScript** and **React/Next.js** on the frontend; **Python** or **Node.js** on the backend. * Solid experience with **PostgreSQL** and cloud platforms (**AWS** or **GCP**). * Practical, production-grade experience integrating LLMs or AI services (engineering focus, not research). * Proven product sense — able to translate user problems into measurable, practical solutions. * Comfortable working in small teams with limited process, high ambiguity, and broad scope across frontend, backend, and DevOps. * Experience implementing monitoring, observability, and automated testing as part of CI/CD pipelines (metrics, tracing, logging, health checks). * Background with multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, API design, real-time systems, or high-throughput applications is a plus. * Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows and/or experience in regulated industries (healthcare, fintech, legal) is a bonus. ### Compensation & Benefits **Salary:** $150,000 – $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. ### Location On-site in **San Francisco, CA, USA**. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
