We are looking for ambitious and highly skilled Staff Software Engineers to join these LatAm engineering teams, contributing to the first wave of talent in this hub. This is a unique opportunity to be a foundational member of our São Paulo engineering hub, helping to shape our local culture, processes, and technical direction. You will play a crucial role in expanding our product across Latin American markets, covering Onboarding (Consumer & Business) and Money Movement capabilities by integrating with local partners, connecting with local payment schemes, and building seamless customer journeys across the region, while collaborating closely with our global teams, including helping to shape our global KYC/KYB and money movement systems.

You will have the chance to significantly contribute to the technical direction for your team's domain, help build a best-in-class engineering organisation right here in São Paulo, leveraging your experience to mentor and coach less experienced team members as we grow the engineering teams in this new hub. You will also collaborate closely with other engineering teams being established in São Paulo, and with global teams in other locations. What You'll Be Doing: Design, develop, test, and deploy features and services to enable Consumer & Business Onboarding and Money Movement capabilities in existing and new Latin American markets, within your team's focus area.

Automate and improve onboarding workflows and compliance checks (KYC/KYB) for different customer types across the region. Propose and advocate for high-quality technical designs and solutions for both Onboarding and Money Movement that are scalable, reliable, and compliant with the diverse regulations across Latin American markets. Participate in code and design reviews within your team, providing constructive feedback to maintain and elevate our engineering standards. 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 for regional expansion and contribute to the evolution of our global KYC/KYB and money movement systems. Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to Onboarding, Money Movement, cross-border payments, and local integrations in LatAm markets.
