Role overview
:

As a Senior Engineer based in our new São Paulo engineering hub, you will be a core member of the Brazil Regional team focused on improving our products for the Brazilian market and expanding our global offering to meet local needs. You will work on critical areas like enhancing our Brazil Business and Consumer offering, optimizing the PIX experience, implementing integrations with banks, payment providers, identity/business verification vendors, and other local partners, connecting our platform to various local payment systems, optimizing onboarding funnels, and handling the complexities of moving money across countries.

This role requires a high level of technical and product excellence and a passion for building high-quality, scalable, and compliant solutions within the Brazilian context. You won't just be writing code; you will be instrumental in proposing robust technical designs, conducting thorough code and design reviews, and collaborating closely with engineers in other global offices to ensure our systems effectively serve our growing Brazilian customer base while actively contributing to the improvement and evolution of our global platform.

You will have the chance to significantly influence the technical direction and help build a best-in-class engineering organisation right here in São Paulo, leveraging your experience to mentor and coach other team members as we grow the engineering teams in this new hub. You will also collaborate closely with other LatAm engineering teams being established within the São Paulo hub.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Design, develop, test, and deploy features and services specifically tailored for the Brazilian market, with a focus on the Brazil Business, Consumer, and PIX experience.
• Propose and advocate for high-quality technical designs and solutions that are scalable, reliable, and compliant with local regulations.
• Conduct rigorous code and design reviews, providing constructive feedback to maintain and elevate our engineering standards globally.
• Implement integrations with local banks, payment providers, identity/business verification vendors, and financial partners across the region.
• Automate and improve onboarding workflows and compliance checks (KYC/KYB) for different customer types.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and engineers in our other global offices, to align on product vision and technical implementation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, ensuring the stability and performance of our systems.
• Contribute to the technical strategy and roadmap for your area of ownership within the Brazil Regional team.
• Act as a technical leader and mentor within the São Paulo engineering hub, helping to onboard and guide new engineers.
• Stay updated on relevant Brazilian and LatAm market trends, payment systems, and regulatory requirements to inform product development and ensure compliance.
