at Clera · 1-10 employees
Clera is a talent-matching platform that replaces traditional job applications by connecting candidates and hiring teams through curated introductions.
ABOUT THE ROLE Join a growing consumer fintech company building mobile-first financial tools that help everyday users manage cash flow, access earned wages early, and build credit — all without interest or traditional credit checks. As a Product Engineer, you'll work end-to-end across the stack to ship features that have a direct, meaningful impact on users' financial wellbeing. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business leaders in a fast-moving, startup environment. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build product features end-to-end — domain models, business logic, and API integrations — that make the product work seamlessly for consumers. - Drive a data-driven, incremental release process toward bold product milestones. - Use SQL and analytics tooling to evaluate product and system performance against robust data pipelines and infrastructure. - Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub-based backend to ensure a seamless user experience. - Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves: - Hands-on experience with Go (Golang) deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). - Direct consumer product experience — you've built products for end consumers, not exclusively B2B. - Proficiency designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting. - Strong experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL), including data modeling and query optimization. - Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, automated testing, and code review processes. - Experience with event-driven architectures and message queues (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub) for scalable data pipelines. - Excellent cross-functional communication skills — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders. - Preference for candidates with startup experience (Big Tech backgrounds also considered). Nice to have: - Strong CS fundamentals. - 2–9 years of overall software engineering experience. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience. - Visa sponsorship available. LOCATION This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be willing to work from the San Francisco office.
