Descrição da oferta de emprego

Nubank was founded in 2013 to free people from a bureaucratic, slow, and inefficient financial system. Since then, through innovative technology and outstanding customer service, the company has been redefining people's relationship with money across Latin America. With operations in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, Nubank is today the largest digital banking platform in the world and one of the leading technology companies, reinventing the financial lives of over 60 million customers.

Nubank achieved this by offering a no-fee credit card, managed entirely via a mobile app, and a digital account free of taxes. Nubank also provides transparent personal loans, a business account for SMBs, and life insurance. In 2020, Nubank acquired digital broker Easynvest (now Nu invest), becoming the leader in self-directed digital investments in Brazil.

Over the years, Nubank has raised around US$2 billion from renowned investors such as Berkshire Hathaway, Sequoia, DST, Tencent, Tiger, Kaszek, Founders Fund, Dragoneer, TCV, Redpoint, Ribbit, GIC, Whale Rock, Invesco, QED, and Capital Group.

Today, Nubank is a global company with offices in São Paulo (Brazil), Mexico City (Mexico), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Bogotá (Colombia), Durham (USA), and Berlin (Germany). It was founded in São Paulo by Colombian David Vélez and co-founded by Brazilian Cristina Junqueira and American Edward Wible. For more information, visit www.nubank.com.br.
