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.
