Design Systems Engineer for AI-Driven UX Tools

Nubank; Palo Alto (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 230,000; Full time

Job summary

Nu b ank's design center seeks the first full‑time engineer to architect the CoE tooling and systems that scale design and research across the organization. You'll work directly with designers and researchers to understand needs, scope solutions, and build production systems.

You will own NuBrain and other tools, define architecture for retrieval and content delivery, and shape the platform that empowers creative marketing at scale.

Qualifications

• An outstanding, deeply experienced engineer.
• A track record architecting UX systems.
• A love for design that shows up in your work.
• Agentic systems that help design scale.
• A protagonist.
• Evidence you've shipped.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build the systems design at Nubank runs on — increasingly agentic ones.
• Sit with designers and researchers, understand the need underneath the request, and turn it into something scoped and buildable.
• Stand up or reuse the infrastructure, write the code, and ship it to the function.
• Instrument what you build. Metrics and observability are part of the deliverable, not a follow-up.
• Own the roadmap for CoE tooling: prioritize, sequence, say no, and keep things moving without a PM behind you.
• Be the technical voice in a design organization — make trade-offs legible to people who don't read code.
