At Nubank, we are entering a new chapter for our Investments business. We are moving away from traditional, siloed financial systems toward a global, scalable platform architecture that empowers millions of customers to grow their wealth. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a cornerstone of this transformation, ensuring our engineering culture and technical strategy can support the next decade of growth. You will join the Investments Platforms team, where we build the core engines for custody, offers, and orders. Your mission is to "dehydrate" legacy systems by designing extensible, agnostic solutions that handle everything from fixed income to equities. This isn't just about writing code; it's about leading a cultural and technical revival, influencing your peers to adopt the best architectural practices while keeping the "plane flying" as we migrate critical flows.
Responsibilities
- Architect Scalable Platforms: Design and evolve core investment platforms (Custody, Orders, Offers) to be asset-agnostic and globally extensible.
- Drive Legacy Migration: Lead the construction of complex and innovative platforms to manage an Investments business in a scale unseen in the market.
- Technical Stewardship: Own the end-to-end technical lifecycle of high-impact projects, ensuring alignment with Nubank's long-term business goals.
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to translate complex business requirements into elegant technical solutions.
- Required Qualifications
- Platform Engineering Expertise: Proven track record of building and maintaining highly abstracted, extensible platforms (technical or business-focused) in a high-growth environment.
- Architecture at Scale: Deep experience designing distributed systems that handle high-concurrency and mission-critical financial flows.
- Resilient Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams through periods of ambiguity, organizational change, or complex system migrations.
Requirements
- Investments Domain Knowledge: Prior experience with brokerage systems, asset classes (equities, fixed income), or financial regulatory environments.
- Cloud-Native Fluency: Deep familiarity with AWS or similar cloud providers and modern CI/CD practices.
- Pragmatic Problem Solving: Experience balancing the need for architectural purity with the necessity of delivering business value in a fast-paced setting.
