### We are looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer who:

### Responsibilities:

- **Platform Leadership:** Lead the design, adoption, and continuous improvement of the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), driving CI/CD pipeline standardization to increase deployment frequency and reduce Cycle Time.
- **FinOps Strategy:** Design and implement engineering FinOps strategy across AWS and other tooling, identifying cost-saving opportunities without compromising reliability.
- **Container Orchestration:** Operate and evolve our Kubernetes platform on Amazon EKS, supporting multi-country production workloads (MX/CO/BR).
- **Event-Driven Infrastructure:** Support and troubleshoot our Kafka/MSK-based event-driven architecture, used extensively across our microservices for async processing, notifications, and cross-service communication.
- **Applied AI/Automation:** Build and integrate MCP-based (Model Context Protocol) or other applied-AI solutions to automate log analysis and accelerate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) during incidents.
- **Technical Advisory:** Advise development teams on scalable, secure infrastructure design; identify and mitigate technical debt in legacy systems; support cross-team architectural reviews.
- **Security & Access:** Implement and maintain Least Privilege Access (IAM) models for both human and non-human identities, including peer review of policies.
- **SSDLC:** Strengthen the Secure Software Development Lifecycle through container standardization, secure base images, and pipeline hardening.
- **Compliance & Audits:** Lead technical compliance initiatives for audits, certifications (e.g., ISO 27001), local fintech regulations, and enterprise integration RFPs.
- **Resilience:** Design and implement multi-account, multi-region backup and recovery systems.
- **Infrastructure as Code:** Define and implement IaC for environment provisioning and management.
- **Operations:** Participate in on-call rotations, continuously improving MTTD/MTTR through effective monitoring and alerting.
- **Mentorship:** Provide technical support and mentorship to development teams adopting internal tooling (CLIs, container platforms, etc.).

### Qualifications:

- **Education:** Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- **Experience:**
  - 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles, ideally in fintech or regulated environments.
  - Strong experience with multi-account, multi-region AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, or equivalent services).
  - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes on Amazon EKS (cluster operations, scaling, networking, workload troubleshooting) in production.
  - Experience with Apache Kafka / Amazon MSK in production: topic design, consumer group management, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
  - Experience leading or contributing to the build of Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) and CI/CD standardization (GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners, or similar).
  - Experience in observability and incident management (Datadog or similar) and DORA metrics (Cycle Time, CFR, MTTR).
  - Practical knowledge of cloud security: Least Privilege, SSDLC, and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or regional fintech regulations).
  - Experience with Infrastructure as Code.
- **Technical Skills:** Ruby, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java; PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis; experience with our core stack of Java/Spring Boot microservices on Kubernetes (EKS) with Kafka/MSK for event-driven communication; familiarity with applying AI/LLMs to operational tasks (automated log analysis, MCPs, agents) is a plus.

### Additional Skills & Pluses

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a strategic mindset.
- Quick learner, adaptable to changes and willing to shift directions as needed.
- Innate curiosity and an ability to thrive in an ambiguous and rapidly changing environment.
- Organizational skills to produce clear documentation and present to stakeholders.
- Native Spanish; intermediate-advanced English.

### Where we work

This is a remote-first role: you'll work from home day to day. You'll ramp up in person with the team, and come together in person for team moments, events and customer visits through the year.

### Why Clara

- **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.

### How we work

- **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.

If you meet the must-haves, apply - the nice-to-haves are a bonus, not a requirement.
