Product Engineer
Clera
Join a small, high-caliber founding team in Berlin building the AI-native operations platform for private markets. As a Product Engineer, you'll own the interface where operations teams — at asset managers and asset servicers — work alongside autonomous AI agents. Your work will directly shape the design system, review and exception-handling flows, and the human-in-the-loop UX that makes agent output trustworthy and easy to act on.
This is a founding-team role with significant scope: you'll influence product direction, establish frontend patterns, and collaborate closely across design, engineering, and research in a fast-moving environment.
What You'll Do
- Develop and maintain the company's design system and UX patterns, building reusable, high-quality UI components in React and TypeScript
- Create product interfaces that connect operations users to AI agents and underlying data sources (ERPs, banking systems, email, file storage)
- Build human-in-the-loop flows for reviewing, approving, and acting on AI agent outputs — including exception handling, discrepancy flagging, and audit trails
- Design and implement review and approval screens for complex operational workflows such as document reconciliation, journal entry preparation, and reporting package delivery
- Conduct user research to identify pain points in private-market operations and translate findings into refined product features
- Collaborate cross-functionally with the founding team to evolve the product roadmap and UX strategy
Required
- Proficiency in modern frontend development with React and TypeScript (1–3 years of hands-on experience)
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing design systems and reusable UI components for product interfaces
- Experience building human-in-the-loop UX for AI/ML workflows — ensuring AI agent outputs are transparent, trustworthy, and actionable
- Ability to design and implement review, approval, and exception-handling flows within complex operational interfaces
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills — comfortable working in a small, high-ownership founding team
- Eligible to work in Germany without employer visa sponsorship
- Familiarity with Tailwind CSS
- Background in or exposure to fintech, private markets, fund operations, or enterprise workflow tooling
- Experience at companies building AI agent platforms, intelligent workflow automation, or similar products
- Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience
- Early-stage equity opportunity as a founding team member
- Direct influence over product and engineering decisions from day one
- On-site in Berlin, Germany
- Visa sponsorship is not available — applicants must have the right to work in Germany without employer sponsorship
