We are hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer to help lead the architectural direction of Nubank's Global Debt Resolution platform, operating horizontally across all business areas.

This is a high‐influence IC leadership role where you will shape both the platform and the teams that build on top of it.
You will identify the right long‐term patterns for collections, renegotiations, and payments, and push them consistently across all business areas and credit domains.
By sitting at the intersection of Lending, Credit Card, and Credit Platform, you will ensure every new initiative builds toward a unified, multi‐market debt resolution platform.
