# Ex-Founder / Ex-CTO

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/dd540a73-f254-4664-ad39-3a6f8ba60494

## 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 founding-team seat at an early-stage AI infrastructure startup building the operating layer for AI-native service businesses. The role is deliberately unscoped: it is built around your strengths, whether that is engineering, product, or running the operating side of the company. For the right technical person, this is the technical leadership seat.

##### What You'll Do

- Define and own your first-90-day scope across engineering, product, or operations, then drive it to completion.

- Shape the architecture and direction of an agentic workforce platform used by founders and operators to run lean, AI-powered businesses.

- Work closely with the founder to set technical and product strategy at the earliest, highest-leverage stage of company building.

- Help hire and set the bar for the first engineering team.

##### What We're Looking For

- Has founded a venture-backed or bootstrapped company, regardless of outcome, OR served as CTO or first technical hire at a startup, OR shipped a product a team still credits you for, OR ran a service business in a vertical this platform is designed to replace.

- Can articulate a concrete, opinionated plan for what you would own and deliver in your first 90 days.

- Thrives in a small, high-trust, high-standards environment without established process.

- Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build the role around your strengths rather than a fixed job description.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Compensation and equity are sized for someone building the company, not joining it, with specifics discussed on the first call. Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available.

##### Location

On-site in San Francisco, CA, United States.
