This position is for an Engineer Principal (IC9) to join the Mobile Platforms BU.
Mobile Platforms is the BU responsible for Nubank’s entire mobile foundation: we design, build, and operate the platforms that power the Nubank app across all markets. The BU is organized in three business areas – App Foundations (core architecture, app startup, developer experience), App Enablement (navigation performance, Backend Driven Content/BDC, design system infra & Rosetta), and App Release (CI/CD, release train, observability, app analytics & data). Together, these areas provide the canonical Flutter + BDC architecture, tooling, and guardrails that enable product teams to ship a fast, reliable, and consistent app at global scale.
We believe in small, independent teams, a process-light environment, and a culture of trust and collaboration. We made a strategic bet on Flutter and Server-Driven UI not just for technical reasons, but because they empower our engineers to work end-to-end and scale our organization. You will be a key steward and champion of this culture, driving technical decisions that reinforce our principles of autonomy and developer empowerment.
If you feel interested in these challenges and want to work on a very engaged and talented team, this is the place for you!
