# AI Engineer

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/d301746a-815a-45c5-b051-4394d1dcf0e7

## 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 is a hands-on AI engineering role at a healthtech company in the medical tourism space, where you will own the patient-facing AI conversation loop end-to-end. You will sit at the intersection of infrastructure and empathy, building robust agent systems that directly shape real patient outcomes. The work matters: when the AI stumbles, you fix it, and when patients need a human touch, you provide it.

##### What You'll Do

- Diagnose why AI conversations with patients fail and ship code fixes to prevent recurrence.

- Build and maintain agent infrastructure, including tool integrations, evaluation frameworks, and retrieval systems.

- Automate recurring manual workflows on the clinic side, eliminating toil through code.

- Handle patient-facing situations with empathy when the AI falls short, turning those moments into product insights.

- Own systems end-to-end with minimal oversight, making architectural and implementation decisions independently.

##### What We're Looking For

- 2+ years of demonstrated experience building and shipping LLM or agent systems end-to-end (professional, personal projects, research, or open-source all count equally).

- Hands-on experience with agent infrastructure: evals, RAG/retrieval systems, and tool integrations.

- Proficiency in Python or an equivalent language for building agent infrastructure.

- Strong computer science and mathematics fundamentals; elite academic signals such as top-tier university backgrounds, published research, or mathematics competition experience are a strong plus.

- Automation instinct: you spot recurring manual workflows and proactively eliminate them through code.

- Ability to diagnose and fix failures in production LLM/agent systems.

- Familiarity with vector databases, embedding systems, or semantic search is a plus.

- Experience with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or conversational AI evaluation is a plus.

- Patient-facing warmth and empathy; comfort handling difficult conversations with care.

- Startup autonomy: comfortable owning systems independently in fast-moving environments.

- Existing US work authorization required; no visa sponsorship available.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: **$150,000 to $200,000 USD annually.** Visa sponsorship is not available; existing US work authorization is required.

##### Location

This role is fully on-site, five days per week, in **San Francisco, California, United States.** No remote exceptions.
