About the Role
Join a small, fast-moving team building AI-powered customer communication software. You will work across product, engineering, and customer deployments to bring AI applications into production, keep them reliable, and turn deployment learnings into improvements to the product.
What You'll Do
Translate customer requirements into robust implementation plans and production-ready configurations.
Lead deployments, including workflows, data flows, prompts, and guardrails for AI applications.
Build integrations with third-party systems using APIs, webhooks, and authentication methods such as OAuth and API keys.
Write and test glue code and small-to-medium features, with appropriate monitoring and logging.
Debug live issues across calls, workflows, and data, and deploy fixes in production.
Create reusable templates, deployment playbooks, and practices that make implementations repeatable.
Share recurring customer needs and product gaps with concrete recommendations for the product team.
What We're Looking For
Several years of experience translating customer requirements into production implementations.
Hands-on experience building and operating production LLM applications, including prompting, tool use, RAG, evaluation, and understanding failure modes.
Strong coding skills for integrations and features, along with experience testing, monitoring, and logging production systems.
Cloud fundamentals, including deployment, observability, and production debugging.
Practical experience with APIs, webhooks, authentication, and third-party integrations.
German proficiency at B2 level or higher. Exceptional candidates without German proficiency may be considered for escalation.
Experience in a startup engineering environment is valued. Voice or telephony integrations, TypeScript or Python, SQL, automation tools, and privacy considerations are relevant additional experience.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: €60,000 to €90,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
Remote, Germany.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Clera. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
