Experience designing for high throughput, low latency, and strict consistency guarantees is necessary.
A deep understanding of security and compliance in payments, including PCI-DSS, encryption at rest/in transit, and audit trails, is essential.
You must have solid experience with integration and end-to-end testing of payment flows.
Expertise in observability, including logging, metrics (Prometheus/Grafana), distributed tracing, and alerting, is required.
You should have demonstrated ability to drive service-level objectives (SLOs), error budgets, and incident response processes.
Proven mentoring and coaching skills are necessary to upskill mid-level and junior engineers in best practices.
Strong communication skills are required to align cross-functional teams (Product, QA, Compliance, DevOps) on technical trade-offs.

You will be part of a leading payments platform for service-based companies, contributing to innovative solutions that automate the accounts receivable process.
The company values transparency, honesty, dependability, partnership, revolutionary thinking, and diversity and inclusion, creating a supportive work environment.
You will have the opportunity to work remotely from Brazil, providing flexibility in your work-life balance.
