## About the role

Nubank is one of the few companies with the scale (3,500+ engineers), AI ambition, and executive air cover to build a genuinely AI-native developer experience: not a bolt-on pilot. This role is responsible for defining and leading the AI Developer Experience pillar within Engineering Enablement, transforming how Nubank's engineers write, review, deploy, and operate software.

## What they're looking for

- Proven leadership of AI-native developer tooling or platform teams, ideally at a company operating at meaningful engineering scale
- Track record building full-time, dedicated engineering teams out of fragmented, part-time, or borrowed resourcing: including experience in allocating teams, stellar in people leadership to do it without burning teams out
- Real experience structuring and running third-party vendor partnerships (evaluation, integration, managing lock-in risk) alongside first-party build
- Hands-on technical credibility in agentic coding systems, context/retrieval infrastructure, or developer-facing AI tooling: able to go deep with ICs, not just manage from a distance
- Comfort operating in a high-velocity, ambiguous, and high-executive-visibility organization, ability to align and mobilize teams to take on new challenges and scale impact
- High accountability and ownership mindset, coupled with the ability to move fast under pressure
