About the role
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. You’ll complement your design process with AI, with the judgment to decide what to apply, when to go deep, and when to move fast and ship.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners as part of our always-on discovery pipeline to shape product requirements.
- 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.
- Ensure quality and consistency across all deliverables, including AI-assisted work, and help grow our agentic design system.
- Own the UX performance of the products you design, and drive the improvements that follow.
Who you are
- 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.
Nice to have
- 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.
Where we work
This is a hybrid role: you'll split your time between the office, customers and home. We don't set a minimum number of office days for most roles — you'll spend time in the office naturally, and most days during your ramp-up or when your leader asks.
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.
