Software Engineering • Lead

Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering with experience in developing scalable applications. You are familiar with microservices architecture and have a keen interest in functional programming, particularly with Clojure — even if you haven't worked with it before, you're eager to learn. You understand the importance of high throughput and efficient inter-service communication, and you are comfortable working with tools like Kafka. You thrive in collaborative environments and are excited about contributing to a team that values state-of-the-art software development practices.

You are adaptable and open to learning new technologies, which is essential in a fast-evolving field like financial technology. Your problem-solving skills are complemented by your ability to communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders. You are committed to writing clean, maintainable code and understand the significance of continuous integration in the software development lifecycle.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms and CI/CD tools would be a plus, as would familiarity with agile methodologies. If you have worked in the financial sector or have an interest in fintech, that would align well with Nubank's mission to redefine financial services in Latin America.
