You will serve as a Forward-deployed Engineer, sitting at the intersection of Product Engineering and Go-To-Market teams. You'll be embedded directly with partners and customers to ship integrations rapidly, acting as the primary technical owner for every integration in your portfolio.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the full integration lifecycle from qualification through handoff, working hands-on with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Conduct Phase 0 qualification assessments to map systems, data flows, risk surfaces, and build approaches
- Build and configure integration connectors, data mappings, and partner adapters using Clara's integration framework
- Coordinate directly with partner technical teams as the primary technical point of contact
- Partner with Platform/API teams to leverage core primitives and identify reuse opportunities
- Ensure integrations meet Clara's standards: idempotency, observability, secrets management, data minimization, and sandbox testing
- Drive clean handoffs with runbooks, dashboards, on-call assignments, and support playbooks
- Feed learnings back into the platform to identify patterns for shared libraries or configuration
Required qualifications:
- 4+ years of backend software development with hands-on API integration, webhooks, and data mapping experience
- Deep fluency in integration patterns: REST, event-driven architectures, OAuth/token management, idempotency
- Experience working directly with external partners or customers in a technical capacity
- Strong proficiency in one or more backend languages (preferably Java)
- Working knowledge of observability fundamentals: logs, metrics, tracing, alerting, SLOs
- Ability to move fast in ambiguous environments
- Working proficiency in English and Spanish, or English and Portuguese
- Excellent communication with technical and non-technical audiences
- Exposure to integration platforms or connector frameworks (N8N, Zapier, or custom equivalents)
- Comfort using AI tools as a force multiplier
Nice-to-have qualifications include fintech/payments experience, PCI/PII compliance familiarity, AWS/Kafka experience, and proficiency in all three languages (Portuguese, Spanish, English).
