Software Engineer, Backend

We’re building an autonomous AI agent that investigates and resolves production incidents. Our agent combines LLMs with tools to understand systems, reason through problems, and take corrective actions - even for issues it hasn’t seen before.

Cleric is already running in production at high-scale companies across fintech, ride-sharing, and autonomous vehicles.

We’re hiring a Software Engineer, Backend to help build and scale our autonomous agent. This role is ideal for engineers who want to build, ship, and work on production AI systems in real-world environments.

You’ll work closely with senior engineers on agent reasoning, integrations, and runtime systems, contributing directly to real customer-facing functionality.
