- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, at least 3 of them in FinTech, payments or financial services
- Able to write examples, labs and exercises in both Go and TypeScript/Node.js
- Professional written English; content must be clear and technically precise for mid-to-senior engineers
- Production mindset: design what engineers build in real systems, not academic exercises

- Hands-on integration with at least one of PIX (Brazil), SPEI (Mexico) or Transferencias 3.0 (Argentina), including QR payloads, interoperability and settlement flows

- Working knowledge of at least one LatAm framework: BACEN, CNBV, BCRA or SFC; settlement finality, non-repudiation and audit trails as engineering constraints
- Conceptual familiarity with stablecoin settlement for cross-border payments
- Experience writing technical documentation: RFCs, ADRs and OpenAPI specs
- Spanish is a nice-to-have for contextual regulatory notes for specific LatAm markets
Benefits:
- Remote work modality (home office)
- Joining a dynamic and growing organization with international reach
