• Develop reusable resources, best practices, and tools to share your expertise and help scale the forward deployed engineering function across the organization.

About You

• You bring 4-6 years of engineering or technical deployment experience that includes customer-facing work.

• You are fluent in both English and Portuguese. Exceptional English communication skills are essential for this role, as you will regularly lead complex technical and business conversations with global customers and internal teams.

• You have strong technical background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.

• You build strong relationships with both technical and business stakeholders at all levels, driven by curiosity and a customer-centric mindset that helps you understand their needs and solve their challenges.

• You're collaborative, curious, and low-ego- you work well across product, engineering, and GTM teams, and you bring a genuine desire to understand customers' businesses.

• You are based in the São Paulo area and comfortable traveling for in-person customer or team meetings.

• You have experience with at least one of the major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• You have experience of working at or with tier-1 banks in Brazil for risk decision solutions/vendors deployment projects.

What We Offer

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.

• Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company.

• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.

• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe.

• Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.

• Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.

• Use the equipment of your choice including meaningful home office set-up.

Our Stance

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.

• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
