About Remote
With Innovation as one of the core values, we have built Automation and AI capabilities into the requirements for every role.
We encourage every member of the Remote team to bring their talents, experiences and culture to the table to help us build the best-in-class HR platform.
The position
You'll be joining a team of engineers across Frontend, Backend, SRE and QA. We're organised into cross-functional development teams assigned to specific verticals.
This role is open for several teams, and we will define the exact team that you will be joining during the interview process based on the business needs and your preferences.
Regardless of the specific team, you will be working on building tools, APIs and integrations for one of our products.
Our backend is built with Elixir and Phoenix, with a Postgres database. We use React and Next.js for our front-end. GitLab is used as a version control tool and a CI/CD solution. Our applications are hosted on AWS. We fully rely on our CI for deployments and deploy multiple times per day. You can check out our Engineering Rulebook to learn more.
What this job can offer you
- Complex and meaningful challenges — solving them will enable people and businesses to live and operate in any country of the world.
- Opportunity to have a significant impact on the business — we are still very early in our journey as a company, and each change you make today is amplified by the company's growth.
- A lot of freedom to organize your work and life — you are not bound to daily standups, recurring meetings or other ceremonies.
- Competitive salary, stock options, unlimited PTO and a set of perks and benefits.
- A supportive and kind work environment where we would like you to challenge the dogmas and pursue innovation!
- Strong team of experienced engineers who will support and facilitate your professional growth.
What you bring
Must have (professional experience):
- Strong engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping production systems that are secure, reliable, and scalable.
- Practical experience designing or adopting agentic/automation workflows (or comparable systems) and improving them through iteration.
- Ability to think in systems: define specs clearly, break down plans, instrument verification, and close the loop on quality.
- Postgres (or similar).
- CI/CD (GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins or similar).
Nice to have
- Experience with Functional Programming languages such as Elixir, Erlang, Scala, Clojure, Haskell, etc.
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- AWS

- Mentor and provide guidance to other engineers.
- Investigate, propose and participate in implementation of improvements to our platform.
- Implement interfaces with performance, accessibility, and API design in mind.
- Redesign how engineering work ships with autonomous agents as the default execution layer.
- Propose and operationalize agentic workflows end-to-end (spec → plan → execute → verify) to deliver outcomes faster.
- Build reusable agentic workflows and primitives in the codebase so teams can apply them repeatedly across domains.
- Use verification loops (tests, checks, evals, guardrails) to ensure results are correct, secure, reliable, and scalable.

- Define and drive the long-term vision and strategy for the global architecture of the core credit card platform, ensuring exponential scalability and continuous evolution capability.
- Lead the strategic partnership with Product and Business leadership (C-level and VPs) to shape the medium and long-term technical roadmap and define the strategic OKRs and global impact KPIs.
- Act as a technical and cultural reference, defining the highest standards of engineering excellence, mentoring other Architects and Principal/Staff Engineers, and fostering a culture of innovation and accountability.
- Lead and resolve the most ambitious and high-risk technical challenges, intervening in critical performance or resilience bottlenecks and driving technical execution for solutions with multi-system and multi-country impact.
- Design and oversee the execution of complex system transformations (e.g., core banking migrations, replacement of legacy platforms) ensuring regulatory compliance in multiple jurisdictions and fiscal regimes, proactively mitigating risks.
- Communicate and defend the technical strategy eloquently and convincingly to the executive board and non-technical audiences, translating architecture decisions into business value and competitive advantage.
Required Qualifications

- Expert proficiency (demonstrated in code and design) in multiple programming paradigms, with significant hands-on experience in functional programming (e.g., Clojure, Scala, Haskell) and reactive/event-based architectures.
- Proven ability to establish and lead the long-term technical strategy for entire platform ecosystems (not just isolated components), influencing the direction of multiple engineering groups.
- Deep and successful experience in navigating and defining the architecture in highly regulated financial environments (e.g., BACEN, FCA, SOX) and designing systems to meet data residency requirements and complex cross-border transactions.
- History of successfully leading and completing large-scale platform transformations (e.g., transition from monoliths to microservices mesh, migration of data centers or clouds), managing risks and operational impact.
- In-depth knowledge of credit card/payment systems design is a significant differential.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Clojure or similar functional languages.
- Proven interest or experience in leveraging AI to optimize engineering workflows.
- Deep domain knowledge of credit card processing or financial ledgers.
