~2 min read

→5+ years of backend development experience
→Solid foundation in Java and Spring Boot. You don't need to have every API memorized — we expect you to lean on AI tools to move faster and fill gaps — but you need the judgment to know when the code is right, when it's wrong, and why
→Strong understanding of microservices architecture and event-driven systems using Kafka
→Familiarity with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, and modern dev tooling
→English proficiency, with the ability to lead technical discussions across geographies
→High autonomy, proactivity, and ownership mindset. You don't wait for direction — you spot what needs to happen and drive it
→A genuine pull toward AI. You don't need to be an expert, but you're actively experimenting with AI tools in your day-to-day work, keep up with where the space is going, and are eager to apply it to how we build. At Clara, AI is part of how we work, not a side topic
→Experience building credit risk, underwriting, or fraud prevention systems in fintech is a strong plus

We've kept this list short on purpose — these are the things that actually matter. If you check most of these and the rest you'd close with curiosity and the right tools, we want to hear from you.

A high talent-density team driven to make an impact in Latin America — low ego, high ownership.
Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one.
An annual learning budget and accelerated development paths.
English is our working language, with Spanish and Portuguese every day.

Clarity — Open and direct communication: we say what we mean and give context where it matters.
Simplicity — If it can be simpler, it should be.
Ownership — We own everything we do, end to end. When something needs to happen, we don't wait.
Pride — We hold ourselves to a high standard, and it shows in what we deliver.
ABC (Always Be Changing) — We adapt fast, embrace change, and keep learning.
Inclusivity — Diverse ideas, stories and perspectives build a better Clara.

If you meet the must-haves, apply — the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
