Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Senior Software Engineer will build and maintain agent tooling, orchestration systems, and data ingestion pipelines for AI agents. They will take full ownership of projects from design through deployment and monitoring.
Candidates must have 5–7 years of professional software engineering experience with hands-on production experience in LLMs or AI APIs. Strong backend fundamentals and experience with agent frameworks or data pipelines are required.
Whirl AI helps Enterprise IT organizations deliver business change faster. Our platform gives enterprise teams AI agents grounded in a deep, continuously updated understanding of how their systems actually work - compressing discovery and documentation from weeks to hours without sacrificing quality or control. We are early-stage, moving fast, and building the team that will define how Enterprise IT operates in the AI era.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own the engineering behind our AI agents and the data infrastructure that powers them. You are a backend-leaning generalist who moves fast, makes pragmatic decisions, and takes pride in shipping things that work. You will be an early team member with real influence over how we build and who we become.
We value in-person collaboration along with flexibility – our team works hybrid from the FiDi in San Francisco, with in-office days Tuesday - Thursday.
Build and maintain agent tooling: the tools, actions, and APIs that our AI agents use to operate
Develop agent orchestration systems that coordinate multi-step, multi-agent workflows reliably
Own data ingestion pipelines that bring customer data into our platform cleanly and at scale
Integrate AI APIs and third-party services, selecting the right building blocks rather than rebuilding from scratch
Take full ownership of projects from design through deployment and monitoring
5–7 years of professional software engineering experience
Hands-on production experience building with LLMs or AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
Experience with agent frameworks, tool-calling systems, or AI orchestration layers
Experience designing and operating data ingestion or ETL pipelines
Strong backend fundamentals with full stack capability (React/TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL)
Startup experience strongly preferred; large-company candidates welcome if you've operated with real IC ownership and a scrappy, high-autonomy style
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Backend: Python, PostgreSQL, DuckDB
AI: OpenAI/Anthropic APIs
Infrastructure: AWS (ECS)
Tools: GitLab, Linear, Figma, HoneyComb
Own meaningful technical decisions at the ground floor of an AI company targeting a massive market
Work directly with founders and have immediate, visible impact
Competitive compensation including equity and benefits (100% employer-paid health plan coverage for employees)
