# Founding Product Engineer

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/e3928530-fb78-4b4c-972e-a8aa4f98f9b3

## 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 product engineering role at a seed-stage AI startup building computer vision solutions that automate blueprint reading, material takeoffs, and cost estimation for the construction industry. You will sit on a small, impact-driven product team, owning features end-to-end and working directly with customers to ship meaningful improvements week over week. The work is genuinely consequential: faster, more accurate estimation helps builders deliver more housing and infrastructure with less waste.

##### What You'll Do

- Own features end-to-end, from weekly customer interviews through to production delivery.

- Build UIs that make complex blueprint and hardware data feel approachable for users accustomed to paper-based workflows.

- Contribute across the stack, working in React on the frontend and Python on the backend and infrastructure.

- Act as a 0-to-1 architect and builder, taking ideas from concept to shipped product.

- Translate messy domain knowledge gathered from customers into clear, actionable product decisions.

- Shape product direction, not just implementation details.

- Handle the operational and logistical work that keeps an early-stage startup moving forward.

##### What We're Looking For

- Demonstrated ability to ship full-stack features using React (frontend) and Python (backend and infra); all experience levels considered, including new graduates.

- Track record of owning features end-to-end, including direct customer engagement and discovery.

- Strong product taste and user-focused design sensibility.

- Comfort with 0-to-1 product building and designing architecture from scratch.

- Excellent communication skills, a growth mindset, and genuine motivation to make housing more affordable.

- US work authorization required; visa sponsorship is not available.

- Bonus: experience building a product that real users adopted or paid for (founder or early startup background).

- Bonus: construction or blueprint domain knowledge, or a clear interest in the industry.

- Bonus: experience applying AI or computer vision to estimation or takeoff workflows.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: **$120,000 to $180,000 USD annually.** Equity is available as part of a founding-team package. Visa sponsorship is not available.

##### Location

On-site, full-time in **San Francisco, California, USA.** Candidates based elsewhere must be willing to relocate.
