The Opportunity

• You are an Engineering Manager looking to lead the App Core squad – a cross‑impact engineering team responsible for building and maintaining the core mobile app infrastructure, optimizing performance, and enabling product teams to deliver high‑quality mobile experiences.
• This is a strategic leadership role requiring a strong technical foundation, excellent people management skills, and the ability to align execution with Nubank's long‑term mobile strategy.

• Set Vision and Strategy: Define and drive the AppCore roadmap in alignment with Mobile Platform's mission and Nubank's two‑year engineering vision, including initiatives like achieving sub‑500 ms "App Ready to Use" startup times.
• Ensure Technical Excellence: Oversee the design, development and maintenance of scalable app infrastructure components and tools, ensuring performance, reliability and cost efficiency.
• Cross‑Team Collaboration: Partner with Product Engineering squads to enable faster and safer delivery of mobile features, guiding them in best practices for mobile architecture, performance optimisation, instrumentation and observability.
• Drive Performance Improvements: Lead efforts to reduce app startup time, optimise critical paths, migrate core systems and remove legacy/native dependencies.
• Operational Leadership: Ensure the adoption and effective use of internal mobile tools such as monitoring (Prometheus, Honeycomb), error tracking (Sentry) and performance profiling.
• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate closely with leaders across engineering, product and design to align priorities, balance trade‑offs and remove roadblocks.

• Knowledge of mobile observability, monitoring and debugging tools.
• Strong communication skills in English, able to explain complex concepts to diverse audiences.
• Track record of delivering results in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments.

Nice to Have
