As a Product Designer at Clara, you’ll work closely with cross-functional partners, executing design strategies that align with business goals and supporting product launches.

- Conduct user research and testing, using AI for desk research and synthesis while owning the rigor of the insights.
- Turn ambiguous problems into flows and interfaces that work for users and the business alike.
- Use AI tools to go from idea to a functional, testable prototype in days, not weeks.

- Experience as a Product, UX, or Interaction Designer, having owned design work end to end, from discovery to shipped product, with a portfolio that shows it.
- Daily, hands-on use of AI in your design workflow (Claude, Figma AI, v0, or similar), driven by real curiosity to keep pushing what it can do.
- Experience in user research and usability testing, from planning and running studies to synthesizing insights that shape design decisions.
- A bias for shipping, with fast iterations, early testing, and refining out in the open.
- Strong attention to detail and a passion for beautiful, functional, and engaging design.
- Proficiency in Figma or similar design and prototyping tools.
- Clear, confident communication, comfortable presenting and defending your design decisions.
- Good English level.
- Frontend knowledge that helps you communicate more easily with engineering.
- Comfortable with Git and the command line.
- Experience with structured, agent-ready guidelines, docs built for both humans and AI to use.
- A history of building your own skills, apps, or tools to make part of a process more efficient.
- 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.
- 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.
Claridians split their time between the office, customers and home. We don't set a minimum number of office days for most roles, but we expect you to spend time there naturally, and most days during your ramp-up or when your leader asks.
If you meet the must-haves, apply — the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
