The Global Lending Foundations team, within our Global Lending BU, is building the platform that fundamentally changes how we design, build, and roll out lending decisions across new geographies
Our mission is to create the tools and evolve the architecture that make it dramatically easier to launch lending products in new countries, with high business impact and direct exposure to Nu’s global expansion
As a Staff Software Engineer – Lending Foundations, you will be a senior technical leader in this platform layer: defining the long-horizon technical direction for how Lending platforms scale across countries, products, and partners, and shaping how every future lending product is built across Brazil, the US, Mexico, Colombia and future markets
You will operate at platform scale — building shared infrastructure that other teams depend on for years — while working in a highly engaged, multi-level engineering group (IC7–IC4) and partnering closely with product and business leaders
Owning the architectural vision for Lending Foundations: Define and evolve the platform architecture that underpins lending products across countries, products, and partners, making decisions that outlast individual cycles
Designing and scaling shared platform capabilities: Build core services, decisioning primitives and integration patterns that multiple lending teams rely on, balancing flexibility with consistency and long-term maintainability
Leading cross-team architectural initiatives: Drive alignment on hard technical choices across engineering squads and stakeholders, bringing clarity where the path forward is genuinely unclear and ensuring coherent evolution of the Lending platform layer
Evolving event-oriented architectures: Apply and refine CQRS and event-driven patterns across the platform, making thoughtful trade-offs when building shared infrastructure that must work across geographies and regulatory contexts
Partnering with product and business leadership: Work closely with the Global Lending BU to translate business goals and expansion plans into platform capabilities and roadmaps, ensuring high, measurable impact on global lending expansion
Multiplying senior engineering talent: Mentor senior engineers, help them grow toward Staff level, and raise the engineering bar through design reviews, technical guidance, and clear written and verbal communication
