Where we work

This is a hybrid role: you'll split your time between the office, customers and home. We don't set a minimum number of office days for most roles — you'll spend time in the office naturally, and most days during your ramp-up or when your leader asks.

Why Clara

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.

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.

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.
