Founding Product Engineer
Role Summary
Join Clera as a Founding Product Engineer in Munich, leading product features at a Y Combinator-backed startup. Visa sponsorship is available.
About the Organisation
This is a rare opportunity to be the first engineering hire at a fast-moving, Y Combinator-backed startup building the marketing suite for the agentic web. The company helps brands understand and improve how AI platforms — think large language model-powered search and content tools — mention and surface them. You'll work directly with both founders and customers, owning product features from ambiguous idea all the way to live, value-delivering product.
The work spans product thinking, frontend, backend systems, LLM pipelines, data, and real customer conversations. If you thrive in early-stage environments where you shape what gets built and how, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Own full product features end to end — identify what to build, ship it, and keep iterating until it creates real customer value.
- Work side by side with the founders and customers on a daily basis.
- Span the full stack: frontend UI, backend systems, LLM/agentic pipelines, and data infrastructure.
- Talk directly to customers, translate those conversations into product decisions, and close the loop.
- Design simple, intuitive UX for complex AI-driven workflows.
Minimum Requirements
- Hands-on experience with Vite, Supabase, Vercel, and/or ClickHouse.
- Exposure to LLMs and agentic workflows — either in production or in the way you personally work.
- Comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of an early-stage startup environment.
Working Conditions
Munich, Germany — on-site. The team works together in person. Candidates must be based in Munich or willing to relocate. Start date: as soon as possible.
