✨ AI Summary

Clera, a seed-stage AI supply chain startup for the CPG sector, is hiring a Senior Integration Engineer to build the layer connecting their AI engine to legacy ERPs and data warehouses. The role requires 3+ years of Python experience with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and advanced SQL, focusing on idempotent pipelines and third-party API integrations. The position is on-site in New York and offers visa sponsorship.

About the Role

This is a high-ownership engineering role at a seed-stage AI supply chain startup focused on the CPG sector. You will own the integration layer that connects the platform's AI decision engine to the real-world systems where customer data lives: legacy ERPs, cloud data warehouses, object storage, FTP drops, and custom spreadsheets. Getting this layer right means AI-driven recommendations actually land in systems of record, reliably and at scale.

What You'll Do

  • Build, extend, and maintain integrations across ERPs, cloud data warehouses, object storage, and custom data sources.

  • Design and orchestrate near-realtime syncs that handle millions of records per customer without manual intervention.

  • Go deep into each external API, including its quirks and undocumented behaviors, and build connectors that hold up against real customer data.

  • Write round-trip integration tests that protect the full read-update-write lifecycle from data loss.

  • Validate and cross-match data early in the pipeline to catch errors before they cause business harm.

  • Build monitoring and alerting so failures are caught and triaged before customers notice.

  • Work directly with CPG operators and their IT teams, owning integrations end to end from scoping through shipping and ongoing operations.

  • Evolve the integration layer so connecting new, unseen data sources becomes a configuration exercise rather than a rebuild.

What We're Looking For

  • 3 or more years of hands-on production experience building and shipping data pipelines and integrations in Python.

  • Deep experience integrating third-party systems via REST, SOAP, and query-language APIs, including OAuth, rate limiting, pagination, and undocumented API quirks.

  • Strong proficiency with the Python backend stack: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and Pydantic.

  • Advanced SQL skills, including high-performance query writing and bulk upsert operations at scale (billions of records).

  • Experience designing idempotent, re-runnable pipelines with clean fetch, validate, normalize, and upsert patterns.

  • Experience building write-path integrations with safety rails, dry runs, failure capture, and full auditability.

  • Experience building for operability: structured logging, sync-run tracking, alerting integrations, and failure attribution.

  • Experience with cloud data warehouse platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks.

  • Experience with background task orchestration frameworks (such as Temporal, Hatchet, or similar) for scheduling reliable syncs.

  • Bonus: NetSuite API experience, AWS services (S3, FTP), unstructured data ingestion, or legacy ERP integration background.

  • Comfort working directly with enterprise customers and their IT teams in an end-to-end ownership model.
