About the role
We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to be the foundational technical lead on the newly established Product Workflow Reinvention team inside Global Products. This is a high-impact, 0-to-1 initiative working directly alongside our CPO structure to shape one of the company’s strategic bets on AI: reinventing how products are designed, specified, and built. As the foundational engineer on this team, you will own the end-to-end technical architecture and build the initial internal platforms that ship weekly improvements to how Nubank builds products.
What you'll bring
- Senior Staff-Level Engineering Experience: Proven track record designing, building, and operating complex backend or platform systems at scale.
- End-to-End Architectural Ownership: Demonstrated ability to set technical direction, write comprehensive design docs/RFCs, and establish primitives that other engineers build against.
- Expertise in data modeling, workflow engines, state machines, and event-driven architecture.
- 0-to-1 Platform Delivery: Experience leading ambiguous platform initiatives from early discovery to launch and rapid iteration.
- Comfort operating in small, fast-moving environments by creatively combining APIs, open-source tools, and AI models rather than over-engineering.
- Built for other builders: Experience building internal tools or platforms whose users were other product creators, with evidence you drove real adoption rather than only shipping capability.
- You understand why teams abandon an internal tool in week two.
- AI and agentic conviction: Strong, well-reasoned conviction around LLM agents, agentic systems, or spec-driven development, with real examples of using AI tools, automation, or decision-support mechanisms to accelerate development workflows.
- You are connected to where the field is moving without being carried by the hype, and you can name concretely what agents cannot yet do reliably.
- Executive Communication & Alignment: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn strategic goals into clear plans and partner effectively with senior executives.
- Our recruitment process may involve the use of artificial intelligence–enabled tools, such as automated interview transcription and analysis, to support the evaluation process.
- Artificial intelligence is not used to make final hiring decisions
