At PPRO, our mission is to simplify access to local payment methods and our vision is to enable the sale of goods and services to anyone in the world using their preferred way to pay. We empower partners such as Ant Group, PayPal and Stripe to access new markets, connect with more customers, and accelerate their growth.

Our strength lies in our diverse global team with 50+ nationalities and 10+ international locations—all united around one goal – to deliver the best possible products and services to our partners and customers. While our company mission is to keep innovating global commerce, our internal mission is to #chooseaction, #beopen, #thinkcustomer, #gofurther and #wintogether.

As Engineering Director for the Card Processing Domain, you will own the end‑to‑end technical strategy, architecture, and execution of PPRO’s local card‑rail portfolio while acting as the Engineering site lead for our São Paulo hub, including supporting teams outside of your domain. Your mission is to deliver a highly available, scheme‑compliant card processing enabling PSPs and merchants to sell globally.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Security, Risk & Compliance, and Commercial teams to keep transactions flowing smoothly, safely, and profitably. Blending big‑picture vision with hands‑on leadership, you’ll mentor engineers, uplift delivery practices, and cultivate a culture of ownership and innovation across ~40 colleagues in Brazil and beyond.

This is your chance to be the “CTO” of a domain inside PPRO building, learning, and shipping alongside talented, diverse teams on two continents.
