We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us build the next generation of our financial platform. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex financial logic and high-end user experience. You will be responsible for translating high-fidelity designs from Figma into performant React applications that consume RESTful APIs to deliver real-time financial insights.
Feature Leadership: Lead the end-to-end implementation of complex frontend features, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and highly responsive.
Design Implementation: Work fluently within Figma to inspect designs, manage design tokens, and build a cohesive, reusable component library.
API Integration: Architect clean and efficient patterns for consuming RESTful APIs, managing asynchronous data fetching, caching, and error handling.
Performance Optimization: Fine-tune applications for maximum speed, focusing on efficient rendering and data processing for heavy financial datasets.
Collaboration: Partner with product managers and backend engineers to define API contracts and ensure technical feasibility across the stack.
“We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.”
Must havesWorking proficiency in English and Spanish.
React & TypeScript: Extensive professional experience with React (Hooks, Context, and modern patterns) and a strong preference for type-safe code.
Figma Fluency: You are comfortable navigating Figma, extracting assets, and collaborating with designers to turn static mockups into dynamic, interactive experiences.
RESTful Mastery: Deep understanding of interacting with REST APIs, including standardizing requests, handling authentication (OAuth/JWT), and managing state (e.g., React Query or SWR).
Experience or interest in AI tools to automate workflows.
Excellent verbal and written communication.
Adaptability to fast-changing environments.
Proven role-specific execution.
Modern CSS: Proficiency in modern styling approaches like Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, or Styled Components.
Startup & Fintech Experience: A background in finance or a fast-paced startup is highly preferred. You understand the importance of data integrity and the need to iterate quickly without breaking critical systems.
Independent analytical skills using spreadsheets, SQL, or Python.
A good sense of humor.
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.

Clara’s Hybrid Policy
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.
