Backend Engineer
Clera · Munich · onsite
ABOUT THE ROLE
Build and operate the backend systems that let AI agents use connected tools reliably. You will own core infrastructure across integrations, secure code execution, and multi-tenant data, working closely with the founding team in a fast-moving environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and operate a tool gateway that exposes connected APIs and MCP integrations through a Python SDK, with routing, authentication, rate limits, and reliability built in.
- Run persistent, isolated Linux sandboxes for workspaces, with attention to security, autoscaling, and cost.
- Own durable, high-performance multi-tenant state and persistence systems designed to handle failures.
- Identify and resolve integration issues, then improve system architecture to prevent them from recurring.
- Work directly with users and the founding team to make and ship product and infrastructure decisions.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Typically 3 to 10+ years of experience building and operating production backend systems.
- Strong distributed systems experience, including designing for reliability and operating systems through failure.
- Hands-on expertise with containers, Linux internals, sandboxing, and safely running untrusted code.
- Experience building Python services and working with infrastructure tooling such as Modal.
- Practical experience with OAuth, webhooks, rate limits, and third-party API integrations.
- Background in infrastructure, platform, developer tools, runtime systems, or secure code execution, with experience designing multi-tenant systems.
