About the role

Every transaction at Nubank travels across a network before it reaches a customer. As we grow across countries, accounts, regions and hybrid environments, the connectivity layer underneath has to stay fast, segmented, auditable and cheap to run — while never becoming the thing that takes the platform down.

What they're looking for

  • CCIE, CCNP or equivalent experience — you are comfortable designing, building, implementing, maintaining and troubleshooting complex, large-scale networking infrastructures
  • Deep experience planning, deploying and troubleshooting network solutions at scale: IP address management, BGP and dynamic routing, firewalls, load balancers, routers and switches, and hybrid connectivity
  • Strong coding skills (python, .Net. Java, Go etc.)
  • Experience leading incident response and root cause analysis for high-impact, ambiguous failures across team boundaries
  • Strong leadership: you confidently lead complex projects that carry ambiguity and require strategic thinking, with or without formal authority
  • Experienced communication: you convey complex technical messages clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical audiences, adjusting depth and examples to the room, and you facilitate productive discussion rather than just presenting
