 About The Role
 
 
 
 Join a well-funded, early-stage startup bringing AI agents to a highly specialised professional services industry. This is a hands-on, end-to-end engineering role: you will design, build, ship, and continuously improve production AI agents that automate repetitive, high-value workflows for real customers. You will work directly with those customers, translate what you observe into reliable automations, and own everything from prototype to production monitoring.
 
 
 The team moves fast, values measurable impact, and expects every engineer to take full ownership of the problems they pick up.
 
 
 What You'll Do
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Convert observed customer workflows into autonomous AI agents that perform work end-to-end.
 </li>
 <li>
 Collaborate directly with customers to understand their operations, surface automation opportunities, and iterate on solutions.
 </li>
 <li>
 Ship automations that replace hours of manual, repetitive effort and demonstrably improve user efficiency.
 </li>
 <li>
 Own production AI agents across their full lifecycle: build, deploy, monitor, and improve.
 </li>
 <li>
 Run structured experiments with new models, prompting techniques, and use cases; benchmark results and ship what works.
 </li>
 <li>
 Design thoughtful AI &times; Human interfaces that make automation practical and trustworthy for professional users.
 </li>
 <li>
 Instrument systems with observability tooling &mdash; metrics, dashboards, and alerts &mdash; to ensure reliability at scale.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 What We're Looking For
 
 
 
 Must-haves (dealbreakers):
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 5+ years of experience in ML/AI product development, with a strong track record of building and delivering production-grade AI agents.
 </li>
 <li>
 Demonstrated experience shipping LLM-based systems in production (not just prototypes).
 </li>
 <li>
 Proven end-to-end ownership of production AI agents: build &rarr; deploy &rarr; monitor &rarr; improve.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Required skills &amp; experience:
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Strong Python programming skills; comfortable shipping production-quality Python code.
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience turning observed real-world workflows into deployable AI automations.
 </li>
 <li>
 Ability to gather requirements directly from customers and translate them into working software.
 </li>
 <li>
 Product-minded approach &mdash; you think about the user experience, not just the model performance.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Nice to have:
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Experience designing AI interfaces for human-AI collaboration.
 </li>
 <li>
 Systematic experimentation and benchmarking of models and techniques.
 </li>
 <li>
 Observability and monitoring experience for AI systems (metrics, dashboards, alerting).
 </li>
 <li>
 Background in or exposure to professional services, fintech, or compliance-heavy industries.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Location
 
 
 This role is
 
 on-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany
 
 . Candidates must be willing and able to work from the Munich office.

 About Clera
 
 :
 
 
 Clera is a fast-growing AI start-up reimagining how top talent finds their dream jobs. We&rsquo;re already working with leading, VC-backed startups such as Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf - many in AI, all VC-backed. We believe recruitment needs to be talent-first to make it easy to get in touch with those companies, be coached in the journey and actually get hired. We just raised our big pre-seed and are now growing as quickly as possible.
 
 
 Thousands of talents engage with Clera every week. We&rsquo;ve connected many of them with companies where they&rsquo;ve landed exciting new roles. With the traditional $600B headhunting industry ripe for AI-driven disruption, we are aiming to build a massive company, providing better outcomes for talents and companies. We&rsquo;re at a pivotal moment&mdash;right before liftoff. Early enough that you&rsquo;ll get meaningful ownership. Far enough that we&rsquo;ve got a product, paying customers, and a team of A-players.

 Your Experience
 
 :

 </li>
 <li>
 Startup mindset - high agency, resourceful, and obsessed with creating value
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 Who You Are
 
 :
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Take full ownership of projects, from concept to deployment and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
 </li>
 <li>
 Write code fast and scrap it even faster, but know when to transition to building for scale and quality.
 </li>
 <li>
 Enjoy talking to customers and iterating based on feedback.
 </li>
 <li>
 Are willing to work hard, to create something new with a lot of impact, changing how millions of talents find their jobs in the future.
