Ex-Founder / Ex-CTO – Technical Leadership Role
clera · San Francisco
Job description
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.
Key responsibilities
- 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.
Required profile
- Has founded a venture‑backed or bootstrapped company, or served as CTO or first technical hire at a startup, or shipped a product that 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.
What we offer
- Compensation and equity sized for someone building the company, with specifics discussed on the first call.
- Relocation support and visa sponsorship are available.
