At Nubank, software engineers sit at the intersection of data, intelligence, and scale. We build systems that process millions of decisions daily, from fraud detection to credit modeling and increasingly, we do this powered by AI. Machine learning is embedded across our core products: in how we assess risk, personalize experiences, and automate decisions at scale. Engineers here don't just consume AI capabilities; they help shape how intelligence is built, deployed, and maintained in production.

We do it with engineering rigor, autonomy, and a deep focus on impact. Our engineers work across the full spectrum: designing data pipelines and architectures, deploying and maintaining ML models in production, and building the distributed systems and platforms that power our products. We value small, independent teams that move fast, own their decisions end-to-end, and hold themselves to a high bar for quality and craft.

• Understanding of ML model lifecycle, from training and evaluation to deployment and monitoring
• Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices and asynchronous architectures
• Strong communication skills to collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders
• Passion for building high-quality software and data products
