Senior backend engineer on Clara's Payments Tribe (hybrid, São Paulo), building secure, scalable Java/Spring Boot payment services that integrate with processors and Latin American financial networks, while also maintaining React dashboards and internal tooling. Requires 5+ years backend experience, 2+ years React, event-driven APIs (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and strong AI-tooling fluency.
Clara is the fastest-growing company in Latin America. We've built the leading solution for companies to make and manage all their payments. We already help over 20,000 large and growing businesses operate with agility and financial clarity through locally issued corporate cards, bill pay, financing, and a powerful B2B platform built for scale.
Clara is backed by some of the most successful investors in the world, including top regional VCs like monashees, Kaszek, and Canary, and leading global funds like Notable Capital, Coatue, DST Global Partners, ICONIQ Growth, General Catalyst, Citi Ventures, SV Angel, Citius, Endeavor Catalyst, and Goldman Sachs - in addition to dozens of angel investors and local family offices.
We’re building the financial infrastructure that powers high-performing organizations across the region. We invite you to join us if you want to be part of a fast-paced environment that will accelerate your career and support you to do some of the best work of your life alongside a passionate and committed team distributed across the Americas.
We're looking for a Senior Backend 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 focus heavily on the engine under the hood. Your primary strength and passion lie in backend architecture, distributed systems, system design, and complex data orchestration. While your core focus is the backend, you possess the frontend competence required to build clean, functional user interfaces, and ensure smooth API consumption on our client-side applications.
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.
We're looking for an autonomous, systems-minded engineer who loves complex data flows, values strict security, and understands how to deliver clean code from database to browser.
At Clara, you’ll have the autonomy, speed, and support to make meaningful impact — not just on your team, but on how organizations are run across Latin America.
We’re the leading B2B fintech for spend management in Latin America.
Certified as one of the world's fastest-growing companies, a Great Place to Work, and a LinkedIn Top Startup.
Passionate about making Latin America more prosperous and competitive.
Constantly innovating to build financial infrastructure that enables each of our customers to thrive.
Product-led, high-talent-density culture — designed for builders who raise the bar.
Proud of our open, inclusive, and values-driven environment.
#Clarity. We say things clearly, directly, and proactively.
#Simplicity. We reduce noise to focus on what really matters.
#Ownership. We take responsibility and never wait to be told.
#Pride. We build products and experiences we’re proud of.
#Always Be Changing (ABC). We grow through feedback, risk-taking, and action.
#Inclusivity. Every voice counts. Everyone contributes to our mission.
Competitive salary and stock options (ESOP) from day one
Multicultural team with daily exposure to Portuguese, Spanish, and English (our corporate language)
Annual learning budget and internal accelerated development paths
High-ownership environment: we move fast, learn fast, and raise the bar — together
Smart, ambitious teammates — low ego, high impact
Flexible vacation and hybrid work model focused on results
If you’re ready for growth, ownership, and impact — help us redefine B2B finance in Latin America.
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.
