Clera

Founding Product Engineer

Salary Not Disclosed
Munich

About the Role

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.

What You'll Do

  • 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.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Demonstrated track record of shipping production SaaS features — you know what "done" looks like in a real product.

  • Comfortable owning full-stack product work from an ambiguous problem all the way to a live feature.

  • Strong instinct for designing clean, usable UX on top of complex workflows.

  • Solid experience with TypeScript and React.

  • Has shipped a product from 0 to 1 before (side project, startup, or early-stage role counts).

Nice to Have:

  • 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.

Soft skills:

  • Product-minded generalist who wants to own outcomes, not just tasks.

  • Enjoys direct customer contact and turning feedback into product.

  • Based in Munich or genuinely willing to relocate — this is an on-site role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: €85,000 – €120,000 per year

  • Equity: Meaningful VSOP (founding-team range)

  • Visa sponsorship: Available

  • True founding-team scope and impact from day one

Location

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.

Be cautious! Do not send money to a potential employer. Do not pay any money for a potential contract of employment or for pre-employment training.
