Senior Fullstack Engineer - LATAM (Remote)

Ready to accelerate your career?

What you'll do

We're looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join Clara's Payments Tribe — We are responsible for powering seamless, secure, and scalable financial transactions across our entire platform.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex financial infrastructure and user experience. While you will work across our entire stack, your primary strength and passion lie in frontend architecture and crafting frictionless client-facing interfaces.

AI fluency is central to how we work on this team — you're expected to use it across the full development lifecycle, from design to deployment, and to reach for it whenever it makes you faster or better.

💡 In this role, you will:

• Elevate the UX: Lead the frontend architecture of our payment systems, ensuring our user interfaces are intuitive, responsive, and robust.

• Bridge the Stack: Design, build, and maintain frontend/backend integrations with payment processors and financial infrastructure providers across Latin America.

• Build for Resiliency: Write clean, observable, and secure code that handles sensitive financial data with the reliability our clients depend on.

• Leverage AI: Use AI tools to automate repetitive engineering workflows, accelerate delivery, and close skill gaps — from scaffolding integrations to generating and reviewing code.

• Lead & Mentor: Set the technical bar through code reviews, UI/UX architectural input, and hands-on mentorship of junior and mid-level engineers.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend engineers to translate complex payment workflows into beautiful web solutions.

Who you are

“We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.”

Must haves

• Experience: 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong specialization in Frontend/Web development within a Fullstack context.

• Frontend Mastery: Deep commercial experience with React and its modern ecosystem (Hooks, Context API, state management, and testing tools).

• Web Fundamentals: Expert knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+), responsive enterprise development, and optimizing web application performance.

• Backend Capability: Practical experience working on backend systems, specifically with Java. You must be comfortable navigating, modifying, and integrating with our primary backend ecosystem.

• AI-Native Mindset: Experience or interest in AI tools to automate workflows throughout the development process (design, coding, debugging).

• Communication & Languages: Working proficiency in English and Spanish or Portuguese (depending on local country language), with excellent verbal and written communication.

• Adaptability: Proven role-specific execution and ability to operate independently in fast-changing environments.

Nice to haves

• Fintech Domain Knowledge: Prior experience with high-traffic payment systems or local financial networks in Latin America.

• Tools & Systems: Experience with infrastructure or workflow automation tools like N8N or GitHub for CI/CD pipelines.

• Design Systems: Experience building or maintaining reusable UI component libraries or design systems.

• Cross-Regional Language Skills: Basic proficiency in Spanish (for Portuguese speakers) or Portuguese (for Spanish speakers), or a strong desire to learn.

• Humor: A good sense of humor.

Clara’s Hybrid Policy

Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office, talking to or visiting customers, or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We don't enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you're expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
