About the role
- We're looking for a Fullstack Engineer to join Clara’s Innovation Team. This is a pragmatic, fast-moving role for someone who thrives on shipping features quickly. You will operate in "ultra-fast" mode—identifying opportunities, building prototypes, and delivering production-ready AI solutions that create immediate business value.
- Your main focus will be to rapidly build and ship AI features that solve real customer and internal problems. You'll own projects end-to-end: from scoping and architecture to implementation and production deployment. Speed and pragmatism are core to this role—you'll make smart tradeoffs to deliver quick wins while maintaining production quality standards.
- Design, build, and deploy AI-powered features and applications from 0 to 1 in production
- Integrate LLMs and AI models into existing products and workflows, handling the full stack from API integration to user-facing features
- Build intelligent automation tools that improve internal operations, customer experience, or business processes
- Create MVPs and prototypes quickly to validate ideas, then iterate based on real usage and feedback
- Own the entire lifecycle: scoping, technical design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring
- Build robust REST APIs and backend services with proper authentication, rate limiting, and error handling
- Design and implement data pipelines and processing workflows that support product features—including document handling, search, and integrations.
- Deploy and maintain containerized applications on AWS infrastructure (ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS)
- Implement monitoring, logging, and observability for services in production.
- Ensure applications meet security, privacy, and compliance requirements for financial services
- Work closely with product teams, data scientists, and business stakeholders to identify high-impact opportunities
- Translate business problems into technical solutions, making pragmatic decisions about build vs. buy vs. API
- Share knowledge and evangelize successful patterns across engineering teams
- Balance speed with sustainability—ship fast without creating technical debt that blocks future iteration
- Contribute to the broader engineering organization by bringing innovation team learnings back to core teams
- Stay current with rapidly evolving tools, frameworks, and best practices
- Experiment with new AI capabilities and evaluate their potential for Clara's use cases
- Share findings, demos, and insights with the broader team to inspire innovation
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in Python; working knowledge of Node.js or Java
- Frontend experience: React and/or Next.js for building production UIs
- Hands-on experience integrating LLMs into production applications (not just prompt engineering)—you've built real features with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar APIs
- Database expertise: PostgreSQL, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, pgvector), or data modeling
- Cloud infrastructure: AWS services (ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS, API Gateway, SQS, etc.)
- API development: RESTful services, authentication, rate limiting, error handling
- Built and deployed at least 2 fullstack features or products to production that real users interact with
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (ECS, EKS, or similar)
- Comfortable with git workflows and CI/CD practices (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, automated deployments)
- Experience working across the full stack: backend APIs, data processing, and basic frontend integration
Benefits
- 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
