Staff Engineer providing cross-team technical leadership and architecture decisions spanning pods and services. Writes production code regularly, mentors senior engineers, and drives reliability. ~400-person fintech company.
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 regionβs fastest-growing company. Weβre passionate about helping every company we work with become more effectiveβand, through that, raising the regionβs competitiveness. Weβre ~400 people, backed by Notable Capital, Coatue, Kaszek, monashees, DST Global, ICONIQ, General Catalyst and Goldman Sachs, among others.
We are looking for a Staff Engineer to provide senior individual-contributor technical leadership at Clara. This is an organization-level IC role: you shape architecture, raise engineering standards across pods, and multiply impact through design, code, and mentorship β not a people-manager position.
You are a builder and a technical authority beyond a single pod. You still write production code regularly, but your scope is cross-team: systems that span services, shared platforms, and hard technical bets that unlock multiple product areas.
This is a builder's role first. You are expected to ship code, lead by example in reviews and design docs, and leave clearer systems behind you β not only facilitate meetings.
Where we work
This is a remote-first role: you'll work from home day to day. You'll ramp up in person with the team, and come together in person for team moments, events and customer visits through the year.
If you meet the must-haves, apply β the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
