# Agent Engineer

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/f58f9f4f-5118-4fab-8000-2c5d04b193b2

## About Clera

Stop applying to startups. Start getting introduced. Clera connects you directly with hiring managers at the companies you want to work for.

## About the role

##### About the Role

This role sits at the core of an early-stage healthtech marketplace, owning the agent infrastructure that powers both patient-facing and internal AI systems. You will design and build the orchestration layer, tool integrations, retrieval pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that automate clinic-side and internal operations end-to-end. This is a systems and infrastructure role, distinct from live conversation AI work, and your output will directly shape how the company scales.

##### What You'll Do

- Design and implement the orchestration layer for multi-step agentic workflows across clinic operations and internal processes.

- Integrate external tools and APIs into agent systems, ensuring reliable tool calling and robust error handling.

- Build retrieval and evaluation infrastructure to measure and continuously improve agent reliability and accuracy.

- Identify recurring manual workflows and ship automation systems to eliminate them.

- Monitor agent performance in production and iterate on system design based on real-world behavior.

##### What We're Looking For

- Demonstrated experience building agent or LLM systems through professional work, personal projects, research, or open-source contributions, covering areas such as orchestration, tool integrations, RAG, or evals.

- Strong math and computer science fundamentals, evidenced by an elite academic record, competition experience, or fast self-directed learning in technical domains.

- Experience designing and implementing agent orchestration systems or multi-step workflows.

- Experience integrating tools, APIs, or external services into agent systems.

- Experience building or working with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.

- Experience designing evaluation frameworks or monitoring systems for agent reliability.

- An automation instinct: you naturally spot recurring manual work and think in systems.

- Ability to work effectively in a small, early-stage team with limited resources.

- Bonus: experience with healthcare or regulated industry systems, prompt engineering, LLM fine-tuning, or open-source AI contributions.

- No prior professional experience required; recent graduates and self-taught builders are welcome.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Base salary of **$150,000 to $200,000** annually, plus meaningful equity. Visa sponsorship is not available.

##### Location

Full-time, on-site in **San Francisco, California**, five days per week.
