# Founding Product Engineer

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/6505f6f6-1859-4f12-90bb-ef3f599218f6

## 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 product engineering role at a seed-stage construction AI startup, sitting on a small, impact-driven product team. You will shape and ship core features end-to-end, working directly with customers to bring AI-powered blueprint analysis and cost estimation tools to the people who build housing and infrastructure. The work is meaningful: faster, cheaper construction means more homes, hospitals, and schools.

##### What You'll Do

- Own features fully, from weekly customer interviews through to production delivery the following week.

- Build UIs that make complex blueprint and hardware data feel intuitive for users coming from paper-based workflows.

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

- Architect and build new product capabilities from zero, taking ideas from concept to production.

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

- Shape product direction alongside the team, not just implementation details.

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

##### What We're Looking For

- Demonstrated ability to ship full-stack features using React on the frontend and Python on the backend; all experience levels considered, including recent graduates.

- A track record of owning features end-to-end, from customer discovery through production delivery.

- Strong product taste and user-focused design sensibility.

- Experience or clear aptitude for 0-to-1 architecture and product building.

- Excellent communication skills, a growth mindset, and comfort with rapid iteration.

- Genuine motivation to make housing and infrastructure more affordable, not just to maximise compensation.

- Bonus: previously built a product that people used or paid for (as a founder or early startup employee).

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

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

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

##### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: **$120,000 to $180,000 USD annually.** Equity participation is expected at this stage. Visa sponsorship is not available.

##### Location

On-site, full-time in **San Francisco, CA, USA.** Candidates must be willing to relocate if not already local.
