Clearer · UK
AI is changing how software gets built. We’re looking for a Staff AI Engineer to work out which changes matter for clearer.io, prove them with working code, and help our teams ship them. You’ll report to our CTO and help make eCommerce clearer.
your impact
You’ll spot which developments in agentic AI, commerce protocols and the Shopify ecosystem can help our merchants grow.

Every experiment has a product or engineering partner from day one, and you help build it or hand it over cleanly. - Represent clearer.io at Shopify DotDev and similar events, build relationships with platform teams, and turn what you learn into proposals that move our product forward. - Weigh up opportunities for merchant agents (helping merchants run their business) and shopper agents (helping shoppers discover and buy), with clear evidence for each. - Explain new tech in pla…
