Clera United States, San Francisco, California
Onsite Full Time

Job description

About the Role

Join a small, fast-moving team at a Y Combinator–backed conversational AI SaaS startup building an AI voice platform that automates customer call operations at scale for B2C companies. You'll work on a product that handles thousands of AI-powered phone calls every day — spanning sales, support, and operations — and you'll do it in person alongside a sharp, low-ego team in Berlin.

This is a high-ownership, end-to-end engineering role. You'll shape core architecture, ship features with speed, and work directly with customers to turn real problems into elegant product experiences.

What You'll Do

  • Work closely with customers to understand their challenges and design product experiences that genuinely solve them.
  • Build scalable backend infrastructure capable of handling thousands of concurrent AI phone calls per day.
  • Create intuitive, AI-first user experiences on the frontend.
  • Own high-stakes projects end-to-end — from initial concept through production launch and post-release support.
  • Contribute to core architectural decisions that shape the direction of the platform.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Proficiency with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Python.
  • Strong PostgreSQL experience.
  • Proven ability to design scalable backend architectures and make meaningful product/architectural decisions.
  • Experience taking a product from 0 to 1 — you've built something from the ground up.
  • Ability to own projects end-to-end: concept → production → post-release support.
  • Strong collaboration skills — you're comfortable working directly with customers and cross-functional teammates to translate problems into solutions.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with Temporal.io, Twilio, or Modal.
  • Experience with scalable async or real-time processing systems.
  • Background building products for AI-first or communications-enabled platforms (e.g. voice, telephony, conversational AI).

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $75,000 – $160,000 USD annually (depending on experience)
  • Visa sponsorship available
  • Early-stage equity opportunity
  • Work at a well-funded, high-growth startup backed by top-tier investors

Location

This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. We're looking for people who are genuinely excited to work in person with the team — not a remote-first environment.
