Senior / Staff Backend Engineer at Clera — Remote
Full job description
About the Role
Join a lean, high-output core engineering team at an AI-first startup building the next generation of physical threat intelligence and critical event management. The platform combines real-time AI-powered 911 radio monitoring with OSINT from major social networks to deliver verified, actionable threat alerts to enterprise security operations teams — in seconds. The company has strong early traction, meaningful ARR, and is backed by top-tier seed investors.
We're adding 1–2 Senior / Staff Backend Engineers to the core team. You'll own critical platform functionality end-to-end and help shape features the industry hasn't seen yet.
What You'll Do
- Own core backend platform features end-to-end — from concept and architecture through deployment and iteration
- Build and maintain low-latency, highly available backend services that power real-time threat detection
- Collaborate cross-functionally in a fully remote, distributed team environment
- Integrate external data sources and OSINT-style data feeds into the platform pipeline
- Contribute to AI pipeline architecture and agentic workflow systems
- Drive 0→1 feature development with a high degree of autonomy and accountability
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Senior or Staff-level backend engineering experience
- Demonstrated 0→1 ownership — founding a product, or owning a large feature/product end-to-end from concept through production
- Experience building low-latency, highly available distributed backend systems
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating asynchronously across a remote team
- Proven ability to work with flexibility across different engineering specialties in a lean team
Nice to Have:
- Experience building user-configured workflow or automation systems
- Experience designing or maintaining AI / ML pipelines
- Experience integrating external data sources or OSINT-style feeds (threat intelligence, social data, radio/dispatch data, etc.)
- Early-stage startup experience (sub-10-person engineering team)

- Fully remote position
- Visa sponsorship: Not available
