Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Founding Engineer (Full Stack) - **Company:** CLERA, LLC - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $180,000.0 - $230,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Python (Programming Language), Management of Software Versions, Large Language Models, Backend, Information Technology, Front End Software Development, Virtual Agents - **Published:** August 5, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=932bb810bc199265 ## About the Role * 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience, having built and shipped products at a VC-backed B2B SaaS startup with paying customers. * Proficiency in React (frontend) and Python (backend). * Hands-on experience building and shipping production AI agent features: LLM agents, RAG pipelines, or agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex). * Ability to design, implement, and maintain an evaluation pipeline for model outputs, including regression tracing and rollback mechanisms. * Experience building versioning and preview mechanisms for deployed AI agents. * Strong front-end skills and UX sensibility; demonstrated ability to build polished, customer-facing products. * Comfort translating user feedback and product requirements directly into implemented features. * Strong engineering judgment - you know when something is ready to ship and when it isn't. * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field. * Ability to work on-site in San Francisco 5 days per week. Nice to Have: * Experience at a VC-backed sales technology or GTM tooling startup. * Familiarity with the interactive demo / product experience tooling space (e.g., companies like Walnut, Demostack, Navattic, Arcade, Storylane, or similar). ## Description * The Agent: LLM orchestration, conversation flow, tool use, and voice. Building agents that understand products they've never seen and explain them clearly to prospects with varying levels of context. * The Experience: Embeddable, generative UI that adapts in real-time - fast loads, complex interactive demos, responsive across products and screen sizes. * The Platform: Customer-facing tooling for configuring agents, managing conversation flows, reviewing transcripts, and measuring performance. * Evals & Self-Improvement: The pipeline that measures agent quality, detects regressions, and feeds learnings back so demos improve without manual intervention. * Infrastructure: Zero-cold-start reliability - when a prospect clicks "start demo," the agent responds instantly. In practice, your week might look like: * Diagnosing a conversation log to find where an LLM lost the thread during a pricing objection, then shipping a fix to the orchestration layer by lunch. * Prototyping a generative UI widget that adapts its layout in real-time based on prospect intent - demo-able by end of day. * Tracing an eval regression to a prompt change, rolling it back, and adding a test to prevent recurrence. * Designing agent versioning infrastructure from scratch so customers can preview changes before they go live. ## Related Videos - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Guiding Agentic AI with Vue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2033-guiding-agentic-ai-with-vue) - [Creating Industry ready solutions with LLM Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/899-creating-industry-ready-solutions-with-llm-models) - [Bringing the power of AI to your application.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1010-bringing-the-power-of-ai-to-your-application) - [Building the Next Generation of Software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100186-building-the-next-generation-of-software) ## Related Articles - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
