Brazil Payments Technology - Software Engineer III

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and operate production-grade infrastructure for real-time payment platforms, ensuring high availability, low latency, and strong reliability aligned to SLAs.
• Build and maintain automated provisioning and deployment pipelines (CI/CD), enabling repeatable releases and safe upgrades without business disruption.
• Implement and continuously improve platform resiliency (capacity planning, failover/DR strategies, zero-downtime patterns, runbooks, and operational readiness).
• Establish and evolve observability standards (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting) to reduce MTTR and improve platform hygiene.
• Support containerized workloads and orchestration platforms (e.g., Docker/Kubernetes), including configuration, scaling, networking, and security hardening.
• Partner with development teams to translate business and non-functional requirements (e.g., throughput, settlement windows, reconciliation, fraud controls, regulatory constraints) into infrastructure designs.
• Drive technical execution across environments (dev/test/stage/prod), including test environment creation, data/config management, and release coordination.
• Ensure compliance with security reviews, risk assessments, and technology lifecycle management standards; proactively identify hidden risks and remediate.
• Collaborate with global teams, providing technical leadership and coordinating multiple initiatives across team members.

Required Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience as an Software Engineer / DevOps / Platform Engineer / SRE in enterprise environments.

• Database technologies (SQL and/or NoSQL concepts, performance and reliability considerations)
• Fluent English (written and verbal).
• Financial services domain knowledge, ideally in payments.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience with PIX ecosystem concepts (real-time payments, participant connectivity, high-availability requirements, reconciliation/settlement considerations).
• Cloud experience: AWS and/or Cloud Foundry.
