## Description (the employer's text)

Clara is the leading platform in Latin America for companies to execute and manage every payment operation. More than 50,000 leading and fast-growing businesses run on our corporate cards, bill pay, financing and B2B payments, and in 2025 the Financial Times named Clara the region’s fastest-growing company. We’re passionate about helping every company we work with become more effective—and, through that, raising the region’s competitiveness. We’re ~400 people, backed by Notable Capital, Coatue, Kaszek, monashees, DST Global, ICONIQ, General Catalyst and Goldman Sachs, among others.

### What you’ll do

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to own backend and frontend development in Clara’s Collections squad. You’ll build features end-to-end — from data models and APIs to the interfaces our customers and internal teams use. This is a high-ownership role: you won’t wait for a ticket to tell you what to do; you’ll identify gaps, propose solutions, and ship.

- Design and implement backend services in Java + Spring Boot, with a focus on financial flows (payments, collections, reconciliation)
- Build and maintain frontend interfaces in React + TypeScript — you’re comfortable owning a feature across both layers
- Model data and manage PostgreSQL and Redis for transactional and caching needs
- Work with event-driven architectures (Kafka or similar) in a distributed microservices environment
- Build and secure RESTful APIs for internal and external consumption
- Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) as a default part of your workflow — we expect this, not just welcome it
- Collaborate with your Pod Lead and PM to translate product needs into technical decisions, and push back when something doesn’t make sense
### 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

- 3–5 years of backend development experience in Java, including Spring Boot
- Hands-on experience with React and TypeScript — you’ve shipped real UI, not just tutorials
- Solid understanding of PostgreSQL and distributed systems fundamentals
- Experience with CI/CD, Docker, Git, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
- AI-augmented development is how you work — you use AI tools daily to write, review, and debug code; you can speak concretely about how it’s changed your output
- You identify what’s missing before someone asks — proactive, not reactive
- Working proficiency in English and Spanish
### Nice to haves

- Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or other message brokers
- Background in financial services, payments, or fintech — domain ramp is real; prior exposure matters
- Experience in Kubernetes and production observability
- You’ve built something — side project, open source, internal tool — that you’re proud of and can walk us through

- 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.
### How we work

- 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.
