•
Resilience: Design and implement multi-account, multi-region backup and recovery systems.
•
Infrastructure as Code: Define and implement IaC for environment provisioning and management.
•

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.

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.
