About Klar
We're turning one of the world's largest underbanked markets into something fairer, simpler, and more transparent. 7 million users served since 2019. Uber's first global credit card, built right here in Mexico. Klar Empresarial, a brand-new B2B solution bringing agile credit and smart accounts to SMEs who've been ignored by traditional banks for too long.
And a full banking license on the horizon, because our customers asked for it and we listened.
We move fast, we think big, and we go all in, because as our CEO puts it: "Growing doesn't always mean going further. Sometimes it means going deeper."
Behind all of it is a team of 30+ nationalities, working across Mexico City, Berlin, and Argentina, obsessed with building financial products that are simpler, faster, and fairer than anything that came before.
This is Klar, and we're seeking the people who'll write the next chapter.

With so many people from different backgrounds and walks of life (young professionals, parents, LGBTQ+, neurodivergence), you’ll definitely find your people here!
Our values
- Ownership - We own our successes & our failures as a team.
- Excellence - We do everything to the best of our ability & always seek to achieve a new level of excellence in our work.

About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us build and scale our data platform from the ground up. You’ll play a key role in designing and implementing modern data architectures, including data lakes, lakehouses, and streaming pipelines, that will power critical business use cases such as AI, real-time analytics, reporting, reconciliations, and fraud detection.
This role is highly impactful: you’ll be working on core platform initiatives from day one, shaping how data is ingested, stored, processed, and consumed across the company.
What you can expect:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data lakes and lakehouses, with a strong focus on Apache Iceberg and AWS-native services (S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Athena).
