Job Description

FinTech content developer designing production-grade payments engineering courses for Jala University. Creating labs, implementations, evaluation tools and instructor guides for Latin American fintech systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Design module content for one of the FinTech Engineering Specialization’s four courses
  • Develop labs, a reference implementation, an evaluation harness and an instructor guide
  • Create production-grade examples and exercises reflecting systems built by leading fintechs in Latin America
  • Bridge academia and industry through practical education tailored to industry needs
  • Help deliver a FinTech Engineering Specialization for mid-to-senior software engineers

Requirements:

  • Direct professional experience at a payments fintech operating in LatAm (Clip, dLocal, Kushki, Ebanx, Stone, Conekta or equivalent)
  • 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
  • Card transaction flows: ISO 8583 authorization, capture, reversal, settlement; issuer-to-merchant actor chain; BIN routing; acquiring models; interchange; familiarity with ISO 20022
  • Hands-on integration with at least one of PIX (Brazil), SPEI (Mexico) or Transferencias 3.0 (Argentina), including QR payloads, interoperability and settlement flows
  • Multi-tenant, event-sourced, double-entry ledgers; isolation levels; locking; idempotency; transaction state machines; prevention of double-spending under high concurrency
  • Understanding of LatAm clearing and settlement networks such as SLC, CERC, Prosa, ACH and Coelsa, plus BaaS/Ledger-as-a-Service integration
  • 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
