Location & Remote Work

Our technology team operates under a "remote-first" model, which means we work from home and can live anywhere in Brazil. We also offer the option of working from our São Paulo office. Furthermore, we offer the Work From Anywhere program, allowing you to work from any country for up to 90 days a year, ensuring you have the flexibility to do the best work of your career.

The Role

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a core driver of our technical execution. Here, you won't just "maintain old systems" or "take tickets." We are an organization of builders guided by deep technical density. You will use our Leadership Principles, like Dive Deep and Make it Great, to solve high-impact distribution problems and build the systems of our next decade.

We believe that technology scales execution, but senior talent scales judgment. You will be at the forefront of our AI-First pivot, designing highly scalable, resilient systems capable of supporting low-latency conversational journeys, heavy microservices orchestration, and real-time ML processing.

Our Tech Stack: We work with Java, Kotlin, Node.js, Go, Python, React, and more, primarily hosted on AWS. Our daily workflow also incorporates various AI tools, including Claude Code.

Don't worry if you haven't mastered our exact stack. We value strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and an engineering mindset over specific technology experience.

Position & Technical Challenges:

We hire Staff Software Engineers through a unified selection process for multiple engineering teams.

At the final stage, you'll have the opportunity to explore which team best matches your experience and interests, alongside our hiring needs.

What we are looking for:

• 10+ years of experience in software development, leading the delivery of high-volume, high-concurrency, and mission-critical distributed systems.
• Deep knowledge of modern software architecture paradigms, distributed data consistency, fault tolerance, and system optimization.
• Understanding of data-intensive applications and readiness to build architectures that support Machine Learning/AI features at scale.
• Proven ability to analyze and articulate engineering trade-offs concretely (e.g., simplicity vs. flexibility, velocity vs. reliability, build vs. buy).
• Demonstrated capability to remove barriers to collaboration, conduct difficult structural conversations, and foster an inclusive engineering culture.
• Fluency in Portuguese and excellent English skills (mandatory).

You'll stand out if you:

• Have prior experience designing architectures that natively integrate with LLMs, multi-agent AI systems, or heavy data pipelines.
• Have a strong background in FinOps and cost-optimization for high-throughput cloud environments.
• Have solid experience migrating legacy monolithic structures into highly decoupled, event-driven architectures.
