# Software Engineer - Company: [Clera]() - Location: San Francisco - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $150K – $300K - Posted: September 10, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a hands-on individual contributor role at an early-stage startup building AI-powered automation for supply chain connectivity. You will be one of the first engineers shaping the core platform, making foundational architectural decisions that define how the product scales. ### What You'll Do * Design and build purpose-specific AI coding agents from scratch for supply chain integration use cases. * Develop and maintain core infrastructure for hosting and running integrations, similar in concept to a self-hosted deployment platform. * Own systems end-to-end across both the agentic layer and the integrations runtime. * Establish engineering patterns and practices that will guide the team and product as it grows. * Work fluidly across cutting-edge AI agent tooling and complex, heavy backend infrastructure. ### What We're Looking For * 2 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience; this is a hands-on IC role and materially overqualified candidates are not a fit. * Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern full-stack development. * Hands-on experience building with AI agents and LLMs using current patterns and frameworks. * Demonstrated ability to ship and own complex software products end-to-end with minimal direction. * At least one tenure at a VC-backed startup, ideally at an early stage; a career spent exclusively at large enterprises or non-tech companies does not meet the bar. * Strong CS fundamentals from a completed or in-progress technical degree. * Clear motivation to join a true early-stage company and build from zero. * Bonus: former founder, founding engineer, or early employee who has built 0 to 1 at a fast-growing startup. * Bonus: high-agency side projects such as agentic tools or launched products that demonstrate craft and initiative. ### Compensation & Benefits Salary range: **$150,000 to $300,000 USD annually.** Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. ### Location On-site, five days a week in **Los Angeles, CA, United States.** Candidates based elsewhere in the US with a concrete, dated relocation plan to the area are also encouraged to apply. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
