Staff Software Engineer, Product ($200K – $240K + Equity) at Cleric
About The Position
You will define the future of incident response by building the first autonomous AI SRE. This Staff-level role involves designing complex data flows, surfacing agent reasoning to engineers, and conducting product experiments. You'll work directly with the founders to solve the next hard challenge in AI: high-trust, autonomous production investigation. Location: San Francisco, USA Why this role is remarkable: Shape a new product category by defining how AI handles production incidents with 78%+ accuracy at high-scale companies like BlaBlaCar. Join a high-caliber team of repeat builders from Google, Apple, and Tecton, backed by $9.8M in seed funding from top-tier VCs. Experience true technical autonomy and direct impact as one of the first 10 employees in an AI-native, in-person SF culture.
Requirements
- Has extensive experience shipping products at scale and has personally felt the "2AM pager stress" of triaging production incidents.
- Possesses strong product instincts, with a proven track record of deciding what to build rather than just executing on specs.
- Is technically proficient across the full stack and actively uses AI coding agents like Cursor or Copilot in their daily workflow.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build the core systems that power autonomous investigations, including integration points and reasoning interfaces.
- Drive product direction by embedding in engineering war rooms to observe real-world debugging and translate findings into features.
- Set high engineering standards across the stack (Python, backend, and frontend) to ensure high velocity and system reliability.
